Ikate is a new residential suburb in Eti-Osa Local Government, Lagos State, located along the Lekki-Epe expressway. Ikate is closely related to the well-known Lekki and is thus sometimes referred to as a continuation of Lekki-phase 1.

The region extends from Lekki Phase 1 on the left side of Freedom Way to Ilasan on the right side of the Expressway. Its borders end at the Atlantic Ocean's shores on both ends.

There are also routes in the neighbourhood that provide direct access to nearby destinations such as Victoria Island and Lekki Phase 1 via Ikoyi.

Although it is quickly becoming one of Lekki's most populous neighbourhoods, it was once a sleepy community. It dates back to the 17th century, when it was nothing more than a scattering of settlements on a wooden plain land that served as a refuge for refugees. Ikate, as we now know it, arose from a strong desire for freedom from Lagos Island's stressful urban community.
