The Leslie Harrison Dam is a water storage reservoir for the Redland Shire Council. The dam forms Tingalpa Reservoir which is situated between the suburbs of Chandler and Burbank in Brisbane, Australia. To the east lies the suburb of Capalaba in the Redlands.
The dam was completed in 1968 and provides approximately 20% of Redland Shire town water supply. When full, excess water flows over the spillway into the lower reaches of Tingalpa Creek.
Swimming is prohibited in this reservoir.
