Twin Lakes is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Mono County, California, United States. It is located on the east side of the Sierra Nevada, encompassing the lakes of the same name and extending north down the outlet valley of Robinson Creek. The area is part of Toiyabe National Forest and is 10 miles (16 km) southwest of Bridgeport. It was first listed as a CDP for the 2020 census, with a population of 45.
