Uchhali (Urdu: اوچھالی‎) is a saltwater lake in Soan Sakaser Valley in the southern Salt Range area in Pakistan. This lake is formed due to the absence of drainage in the range.

Sakaser, the highest mountain in the Salt Range at 1,522 metres (4,993 ft), looms over the lake.

Due to its saline water the lake is lifeless but offers picturesque scenery. Boats are available.
