Floras Lake is a natural 96 ha body of water on the southern Oregon Coast of the United States. Fed by four small tributaries from a basin of about 26 km2 in Curry County, it lies north of Port Orford and west of U.S. Route 101. It was probably named for Fred Flora, a 19th-century settler and miner who lived nearby.] The lake, with a mean elevation of about 3 m above sea level, empties north into Floras Creek, where the combined streams form the New River. The river flows north behind a foredune until veering west and entering the Pacific Ocean through a break in the dune.

Boice–Cope County Park provides a boat ramp for sport fishing at the lake, which is stocked with rainbow trout and supports a small population of largemouth bass. It is also part of the migratory route for Chinook salmon and other seagoing fish on their way to and from the lake's feeder streams.
