Fountain Lake is a city in Garland County, Arkansas, United States. It is part of the Hot Springs Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 503 at the 2010 census.

Fountain Lake is located in eastern Garland County at 34°37′03″N 92°55′08″W / 34.617439°N 92.918914°W / 34.617439; -92.918914. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 3.9 square miles (10.1 km2), all land. The town is 12 miles (19 km) northeast of downtown Hot Springs and is bordered to the north by unincorporated Hot Springs Village.

The community is named for a former estate on the southern edge of the area. The location is directly off Highway 7, across from Fountain Lake Center (a strip mall), and can be identified by a large stucco entrance gate and a long tree-lined drive. The property contains remnants of a large home, barn, and other out-buildings. A small lake with an ornamental fountain are intact. The property is privately owned.

The Fountain Lake Center, historical Fountain Lake estate, and Fountain Lake School are not actually in the town limits of Fountain Lake. The town limits include approximately 3 miles (5 km) (and community roads attached) along Highway 5 and 2 miles (3 km) along Highway 128. All other associated property outside these limits is part of Garland County, not the town of Fountain Lake.
