Tase Dam (田瀬ダム Tase-damu?) is a concrete dam located on the Sarugaishi River in the former town of Tōwa which is now a part of Hanamaki City in Iwate Prefecture, Japan.
Work on the dam began in 1938, but it was not completed until 1954 due to World War II. Prefectural Road 178 passes over the top of the dam. The dam is used for generating electricity, flood prevention, irrigation, and recreation. The reservoir created by the dam is known as Lake Tase (田瀬湖 Tase-ko?).
