Thornton Steward Reservoir is a small reservoir situated near the village of Thornton Steward in North Yorkshire, England.[1] It is owned by Yorkshire Water who also own and operate the nearby water treatment works (WTW) which was upgraded in 2007, allowing Yorkshire Water to close some older works in Langthwaite and Osmotherley.[2][3]

The reservoir is host to the Thornton Steward Sailing Club[4] and is also good for angling sports.[5]
