The Roseires Dam (Arabic: خزان الروصيرص) is a dam on the Blue Nile at Ad Damazin, just upstream of the town of Er Roseires, in Sudan.

A power generation plant, with a maximum capacity of 280 megawatts, was added in 1971.

The dam contains a gated ogre spillway with a discharge capacity of 694 m3/s.

In addition, the dam was designed with five low level outlets with a discharge capacity of 5,208 m3/s to pass floods and sluice sediment through the reservoir.
