Birchville Dam is an unreinforced concrete arch dam built for water supply in en:Upper Hutt, in the Wellington Region of New Zealand. It was built in 1930 for the Upper Hutt Borough Council to provide increased water capacity for the borough and replaced a water supply weir built in 1913–1914 at the same location on Clarke's Creek, near Birchville. It was decommissioned in 1958, when Upper Hutt joined the Wellington regional water scheme. The dam is now an historic attraction on the Cannon Point Walkway.
