Grjotakvisl Dam forms part of the Kvislaveita diversion system in Iceland's central Highlands. Kvislaveita is an extensive network of dams, reservoirs and canals that collects water from tributaries and the upper Thjorsa river and conveys it towards the Thorisvatn regulation system.

The dam is approximately 170 metres long and around 5 metres high. It was constructed as part of the first stage of Kvislaveita and is associated with Storaver Reservoir and the Storaver canal.
