The Schoharie Reservoir is a reservoir in the New York City water supply system located in the Catskill Mountains of New York State. One of 19 reservoirs in the system, it was created by impounding Schoharie Creek, and feeds via the Ashoken Reservoir into the Catskill Aqueduct. These waters route to the Kensico Reservoir in Westchester County, thence to New York City.

Portions of the reservoir lie in the towns of Conesville and Gilboa in Schoharie County, Roxbury in Delaware County, and Prattsville in Greene County.
