Bean Lake is an oxbow lake in northwestern Platte County in the U.S. state of Missouri. The lake is intermittently full, depending on precipitation, and is 420 acres in area.

Bean Lake is named for Benjamin Bean, a pioneer citizen. The lake was formed some time before the 1850s due to a shift in the Missouri River. It was previously known as Short Creek Lake due to its tributary, Short Creek, though the lake was renamed to Bean Lake in the 1870s.
