Lane is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Atoka County, Oklahoma, United States.

A post office was established at Lane, Indian Territory on October 6, 1902. Its name reflects the fact the new post office was located in a building which was at the end of lane bounded by rail fencing. At the time of its founding, Lane was located in Atoka County, Choctaw Nation, a territorial-era government unit.

The population was 300 as of the 2020 Census.

Lane is located along the State Highway 3, 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Atoka.

McGee Creek Reservoir, which impounds the waters of McGee Creek, lies northeast of Lane. McGee Creek is a tributary of Muddy Boggy Creek, which flows east of Lane.

The famous rodeo world champion Lane Frost (1963-1989) once lived in Lane, as do his parents. Frost graduated from high school in Atoka.
