Uglich Reservoir (Russian: Угличское водохранилище) is an artificial lake in the upper part of the Volga River formed by a hydroelectric dam built in 1939 in the town of Uglich. It is located in Tver Oblast and Yaroslavl Oblast of Russia. The construction of the dam led to a 15th-century monastery in Uglich and 16th-century monastery in Kalyazin being submerged by the artificial lake.
