Svarta Dam is one of the larger structures in the Kvislaveita diversion system in Iceland's central Highlands. It is associated with Kvislavatn and forms part of the third stage of the diversion scheme.
The dam is approximately 1.55 kilometres long and reaches a maximum height of about 16 metres. It was constructed during the expansion of Kvislaveita in the early 1980s to collect additional water from the upper Thjorsa catchment.
