The Kinchant Dam is an earth and rock-filled embankment dam across the north branch of Sandy Creek, located in the locality of Kinchant Dam in the Mackay Region of North Queensland, Australia. Completed primarily in 1977, the dam created a reservoir, called Lake Kinchant for the purpose of irrigation.
The dam was built on Sandy Creek to provide irrigation and town water. However most of the water in the lake does not come from Sandy Creek but is pumped from the Pioneer River at Mirani Weir into an channel into the lake.
The dam was built in stages that started in 1974 and were substantially completed in 1977. Further modifications were completed by SunWater in 1986. The dam is named after local pioneer Frank Kinchant.
A Stocked Impoundment Permit is required to fish in the dam.
