Bachelor Lake is a lake in Brown County, Minnesota, covering approximately 97 acres, in the northeastern part of Stark township. It is an officially protected water of the State of Minnesota and the tenth largest of the 32 lakes in Brown County.

The proximate area was described in 1916 as rich farm land. It is at an elevation of 1,004 feet (306 m).

As early as 1894, the lake was named for an unmarried pioneer who lived there. It was mentioned before that, though, in a geological study that was conducted from 1872 to 1884.

In the Spring of 2016, the Minnesota DNR utilized Bachelor Lake as a rearing pond for walleye. Using littoral acres, approximately 5,000 fry per acre were stocked in Bachelor Lake.
