Těrlicko Reservoir (Czech: vodní nádrž Těrlicko) is a water reservoir and dam in Těrlicko in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It was built on the Stonávka River in 1955–1964 on an area of 2.68 km2 (1.03 sq mi).[1]

Construction of the dam had major impact on the municipality of Těrlicko. 141 buildings were sunk, including many community buildings and also a church. Těrlicko was eventually transformed into a village with many tourist attractions. Many recreational centres were built. The reservoir is a popular spot for water sports, and is also used to supply water for nearby coal mines and Třinec Iron and Steel Works.
