The Narva Hydroelectric Station (Russian: Нарвская гидроэлектростанция, Estonian: Narva hüdroelektrijaam) is a hydroelectric power station in Ivangorod, Russia. It is fed by the Narva Reservoir on the Narva River and is located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) downstream of the Narva Dam (Kulgu Dam) on the east bank of the river. It was designed by a Leningrad design bureau Lenhydroproject and constructed during 1950-1955.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union the Estonian-Russian border bisects the dam of the reservoir. The power station itself is entirely on Russian territory. The power station is owned and operated by TGC-1 power company. The dam is owned by TGC-1 and Narva Power Plants.
