Lizard Acres was a former cattle ranch, subdivision, and train stop situated in Maricopa County, Arizona, near the present day town of Surprise. It has an estimated elevation of 1,191 feet (363 m) above sea level.

Lizard Acres (noted as Lizard on topographic maps) was a train stop just north of Surprise, Arizona. The stop is near current day Grand Avenue and Bell Road in Surprise, Arizona. The site also held a cattle farm.

The 1,800 acre cattle ranch was owned by J. Charles Wetzler. In the early 1960s, the ranch held 13,000 cattle.

Sun City West, Arizona, a retirement community, was built on part of the ranch in 1960 and 1972.
