Salamonde Dam (Portuguese: Barragem de Salamonde; Portuguese pronunciation: [bɐˈʁaʒɐ̃j dɨ sɐlɐˈmõdɨ]) is a concrete arch dam on the Cávado River, where the river forms the border line between the districts of Braga and Vila Real.

It is located in the municipality Vieira do Minho, in Braga District, Portugal.

[1] At full reservoir level of 280 m (maximum flood level of 280.5 m) the reservoir of the dam has a surface area of 2.42 (2.36)[2] km² and a total capacity of 65 mio.

The power station contains 2 Francis turbine-generators with 21.8 MW (25 MVA) each in an underground powerhouse.
