Lakeville is an unincorporated community in Sonoma County, California, United States. It is located near the Petaluma River about 4 mi (6 km) southeast of Petaluma.
The main road is Lakeville Highway, which passes north-south through Lakeville on its way from State Route 116 to State Route 37.

The Lakeville area was part of the Petaluma Rancho Grant deeded to Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo by the Governor José Figueroa of Alta California in 1834. Settled by C. H. Bodwell, Lakeville became the terminus for a steamship route connecting San Francisco with Sonoma County.[2] In the 1870's, Lakeville was a stop on the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad.[3]
