Poyan Reservoir (Chinese: 波扬蓄水池; Malay: Tadahan Air Poyan) is one of the four reservoirs located in the Western Water Catchment of Singapore.
The reservoir was previously part of a river Sungei Poyan and its delta, which was dammed to become a reservoir. Sungei Poyan emptied into the Straits of Johor.
It is now part of SAFTI Live Firing Area (South), which has restricted access. There are two restricted access gates at the end of Old Choa Chu Kang Road for connection to either end of Poyan Reservoir, as the road is quite narrow (is only accessible to pedestrians and all military vehicles), together with the Lorong Danau (between Chua Chu Kang Camp and Jalan Sungei Poyan). The future training outfield, SAFTI City (formerly Poyan Court) will also be located there.
At the reservoir, only the Mobility 3rd Generation raft is deployed to load and unload military vehicles when crossing from the western side to the eastern side.
