The Moogerah Dam is a mass concrete double curvature arch dam with an un-gated spillway across Reynolds Creek in South East Queensland, Australia, now within the locality of Moogerah in the Scenic Rim Region. The main purposes of the dam are for irrigation in the Reynolds Creek district and for supply of potable water to Warrill Creek and farmers in the Warrill Valley.^[1]^[3]^[4] The impounded reservoir is called Lake Moogerah.^[5]

The name Moogerah is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning thunder.^[5]
