The Cleveland Dam is a concrete dam at the head of the Capilano River in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada that holds back Capilano Lake. It is not used for hydroelectricity, but rather for storing a portion of the Lower Mainland's drinking water. It was completed in 1954, and is named after Ernest Cleveland, first chief commissioner of the Greater Vancouver Water District.
