Sir Richard Stuart Lake KCMG (July 10, 1860 – April 23, 1950) was a long serving territorial provincial and federal level politician from Saskatchewan, Canada.
Born in Preston, Lancashire, England, Lake was elected to the Legislative Assembly of the North-West Territories for the Grenfell district in the 1898 Northwest Territories general election. In 1900 he vacated his seat to run in Assiniboia East in the 1900 Canadian federal election.
After being defeated in his first attempt at federal politics he ran for his old seat and was re-elected as the MLA in a by-election on March 22, 1901.
Lake was acclaimed to his second term in office in the 1902 Northwest Territories general election. He held that post until the 1904 Canadian federal election when he vacated his seat to make a second run at Federal politics.
Lake was elected as a Member of the Canadian House of Commons in his second run at Federal politics in the 1904 Canadian federal election in the new Qu'Appelle federal electoral district.
He was re-elected to a second term in the 1908 Canadian federal election winning a hotly contested election by just a 100 votes.
In the 1911 Canadian federal election he was defeated by Liberal Levi Thompson and never returned to federal politics.
