Jemez Canyon Dam (National ID # NM00003) is a dam in Sandoval County, New Mexico, in the United States, a few miles north of Albuquerque.

The earthen dam was constructed in 1953 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, with a height of 150 feet and a length at its crest of 870 feet.[1] It impounds the Jemez River creating Jemez Canyon Reservoir for flood control and storm water management in the spring and early summer seasons.[2] The dam is owned by the Corps of Engineers, and operated by the Corps and the Cochiti Lake Project Office.
