The Danjiangkou Dam () is a concrete gravity dam on the Han river near Danjiangkou in Hubei Province, China. The original dam was constructed between 1958 and 1973. The dam creates a large Danjiangkou Reservoir. In the 21st century, the Danjiangkou Dam became part of the South-North Water Transfer Project. In 2005–2009, its height was raised in order to increase the reservoir's capacity. Heightening

Originally, the dam was  tall and  long. Since its heightening, the dam is now  tall and  long. The original crest elevation was  and is now . The increase in height will add  to the reservoir's capacity bring it to . Currently, the reservoir has a capacity of . The dam's power plant also contains 6 x 150 MW turbine generators for an installed capacity of 900 MW. This will increase with the heightened reservoir. See also
