The Whitefish Lake First Nation (Anishinaabe language: Adikamegosheng Anishinaabeg, syncoped as Dikmegsheng Nishnaabeg) is an Ojibwa First Nation in Ontario, Canada, who live mainly on the Whitefish Lake reserve, 20 km southwest of Sudbury.

Members of the Whitefish Lake First Nation have hunting and fishing rights within the Robinson-Huron Treaty Area. An annual pow-wow is held in July each year.

The current Ogimaa ("chief") of the First Nation is Art Petahtegoose.

In May 2008, the Ogimaa and council of Whitefish Lake First Nation announced litigation against Canada and Ontario for violating the Robinson-Huron Treaty, which states that the First Nation should have been granted a reserve much larger than Whitefish Lake 6.¹
