Lake Westwood is a 35-hectare (86-acre) glacial lake in the Tyndalls peaks to the east of Mount Read, in the West Coast Range, West Coast of Tasmania.

• Anthony Road and Lake Selina (516m) is open ground
• Lake Selina and Lake Westwood are separated by Moyle Rock (696m)
• Lake Westwood and Lake Julia are separated by Lukes Knob (719m)
• south of Lake Westwood is Julia Peak (918m) which is heavily forested on the south side
