Poyan Reservoir (Chinese: 波扬蓄水池) is one of the four reservoirs located in the Western Water Catchment of Singapore. The reservoir was previously part of a river Sungei Poyan and its delta, which was dammed to become a reservoir. Sungei Poyan emptied into the Straits of Johor.

Presently, the Poyan Reservoir is part of the Live Firing Area of the Singapore Armed Forces and has restricted access to the public. It is accessible from a track Jalan Sungei Poyan located off Old Choa Chu Kang Road.
