The William Hovell Dam is a rock and earth-fill embankment dam with a flip bucket chute spillway across the King River, operated by Pacific Blue and located in the Hume region of Victoria, Australia.

The dam is located south of Whitfield on the edge of the Alpine National Park, fed by the King River and Evans Creek.

It supplies water for approximately 24 square kilometres (9.3 sq mi) for irrigated crops, vineyards and grazing properties along the King River from Cheshunt to Wangaratta.

The unusual flip bucket controlled spillway[2] has a discharge capacity of 2,195 cubic metres per second (77,500 cu ft/s).

[2][3] Outflow from the dam drives a 1.6 megawatts (2,100 hp) hydro-electric generator, with an average annual output of 3.7 gigawatt-hours (13 TJ),[3] operated by Pacific Blue.
