Meldon Reservoir is a man-made fresh water reservoir near Okehampton, Devon. The reservoir is the last of eight reservoirs to be constructed within the Dartmoor National Park.

The reservoir was built to dam the Meldon Gorge, through which the West Okement River flows, and supplies water to North Devon.
