Mahala Lagoon (Ukrainian: Магала, Магалевське озеро, Romanian: Lacul Mahala) is a small salty lagoon in the Tuzly Lagoons group, Ukraine. The total area is 76 ha. It is located west of the Shahany Lagoon, near the village of Tryhatky, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Raion of Odesa Oblast. From the Shahany Lagoon it is separated by a sandbar.

The name of the lagoon originates from Arabic mähallä, from the root meaning "to settle", "to occupy".
