The Bawanur Dam is an earth-fill dam currently being constructed on the Diyala River just upstream of the town of Bawanur in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, Iraq.

The 23 m (75 ft) tall dam will support a 32 MW run-of-the-river hydroelectric power station.

It will also serve to control floods and provide water for irrigation.
