Sarimbun Reservoir (Chinese: 莎琳汶蓄水池) is one of the four reservoirs in the Western Water Catchment of Singapore.

Formerly Sungei Sarimbun, it was dammed to create a reservoir, and is now part of SAFTI Live Firing Area, which has restricted access. The public can cut through from Bahtera Track to enter Sarimbun Reservoir area.

The reservoir is near the location of where the first Japanese troops landed on Singapore on 8 February 1942 where they fought against the Australian troops defending Singapore.
