Lake Ichiccocha[1] (possibly from Ancash Quechua ichik small, little, few,[2] Quechua qucha lake, "little lake") or Lake Chica[3][4] is a lake in the Cordillera Blanca in the Andes of Peru located in Ancash Region, Huaylas Province, Santa Cruz District.[4] It lies within Santa Cruz Creek, between the mountains Pomabamba to the north and Caraz to the south, southwest of the larger lake Jatuncocha.[1][3]

Santa Cruz Creek (a right tributary of the Santa River) flows through the lake.[1]
