The Mackintosh Dam is a concrete-faced rock-fill embankment dam across the Mackintosh River, located in Western Tasmania, Australia. Located not far from the main dam is the Tullabardine Dam, a saddle dam across the Tullabardine Creek. Both dams were completed in 1981 and together they formed the resultant reservoir, Lake Mackintosh, established for the purpose of generating hydroelectricity via the Mackintosh Power Station, a conventional hydroelectric power station.
