Ryburn Reservoir is a supply reservoir operated by Yorkshire Water close to Ripponden in the Yorkshire Pennines, England.[1] It lies in the valley of the River Ryburn and is the lower of two reservoirs built in the valley to supply Wakefield with water and was completed in 1933.[2] The upper reservoir is Baitings Reservoir.[3]

Ryburn reservoir is the earlier of the two reservoirs.[3] It lies just south of the A58 road and its concrete dam is situated in a deep part of the valley.[4] Being surrounded by woods, it is a popular area for walkers just outside the settlements of Ripponden and Rishworth.[5]
