Lakemba is a suburb in south-western Sydney, in
the state of New South Wales, Australia. Lakemba
is located 15 kilometres south-west of
the Sydney central business district, in the local
government area of the Canterbury-Bankstown
Council.

Lakemba is in the Cooks River watershed. This river
is tidal up to the edge of Lakemba. A bike and
walking trail takes walkers and cyclists all the way
from nearby Belfield to the east along the Cooks
River, to where it flows into Botany Bay. In the
opposite direction the bike and walking trail
goes north to Olympic Park and Homebush Bay on
the Parramatta River.
