'Deanhead Reservoir' is a reservoir near Scammonden, in the metropolitan district of Kirklees, West Yorkshire. Locally, Deanhead is known as Scammonden Dam, the dam that separates it from Scammonden Water. It was constructed in the 1960s and was opened on October 14, 1971.

It is named after Dean Head, the village that was mostly submerged during construction of the dam. During the 1995 drought, the outlines of the foundations were visible.

The M62 motorway passes over the dam, and separates Kirklees from Calderdale.
