Tarik Dam (Persian: سد تاریک) is a dam on the Sefīd-Rūd river in the Alborz mountain range, about 32 km (20 mi) south of Rasht in Gilan Province, northern Iran.

It is located 35 km (22 mi) downstream of the Sefidrud Dam. The dam was completed in 1977 to distribute releases from the Sefidrud Dam for irrigation paddy fields and river regulation purposes.

A hydroelectric power station, with an installed capacity of 2.8 MW, was under construction in 2013 as part of the dam's structure.[2]

The Kaplan Tarik Dam power plant is a small scale project of the Iran Water Resources and Power Development Company, which was built 35 km downstream of Sefid Rood Reservoir Dam. The purpose of this plan is to produce 46.46 gigawatt hours of energy by controlling the flow of Sefidrud water with the Tarik dam power plant.[3]
