图尔卡纳湖Lake Turkana),旧名鲁道夫湖,1975年改为现名,是东非大裂谷区域中的一个断层内流湖,昵称“碧玉海”(Jade Sea),绝大部分位于肯尼亚境内,仅北端位于埃塞俄比亚境内。该湖面积6405平方公里,平均水深30.2米,最深处109米。该湖属于咸水湖,由于无湖水流出口,导致盐度持续增加,其湖水不能用于灌溉。

三百万年前,该湖周边是早期人类的主要聚居地之一,著名的图尔卡纳男孩便发现于该湖岸边。

It is the world's largest permanent desert lake and the world's largest alkaline lake. By volume it is the world's fourth-largest salt lake after the Caspian Sea, Issyk-Kul, and Lake Van (passing the shrinking South Aral Sea), and among all lakes it ranks 24th. The water is potable, but not palatable. It supports a rich lacustrine wildlife. The climate is hot and very dry.
