The Sartell Dam is a dam across the Mississippi River in Sartell, Minnesota in the United States. Construction of the dam was begun by the Watab Pulp and Paper Company in 1907 and finished in 1911. Seven workers died during construction. In 1960 the dam was rebuilt by the St. Regis Corporation which had purchased the adjoining paper mill in 1946. The mill and dam are currently owned by Verso.

Construction of the dam resulted in the formation of Little Rock Lake several miles up river.
