The Kouga Dam is an arch dam on the Kouga River about 21 km (13 mi) west of Patensie in Kouga Local Municipality, South Africa.

It supplies irrigation water to the Kouga and Gamtoos valleys as well as drinking water to the Port Elizabeth metropolitan area via the Loerie Balancing Dam.

All but the last 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) is tarred road and there is a short tunnel just before the dam wall.

[4] There are three 1200 kVA hydroelectric turbines at the base of the dam, but they are currently not in use.
