Tenughat Dam is an earthfill dam with a composite masonry and concrete spillway that spans the Damodar River in Tenughat, Petarwar Block, Bokaro District, Jharkhand.

The Damodar River Valley Project, which focuses on the Damodar River and its main tributary, the Barakar River, is in eastern India. The four main multifunctional dams at Tilaiya, Konar, Maithon, and Panchet were completed between 1953 and 1959. In addition, later in 1974, a single-purpose reservoir on the main stream, the Damodar, was built near Tenughat (with 224 million m3 of live storage but no provision for flood storage). Tenughat Dam is controlled by the Government of Jharkhand, whereas the four previous dams are controlled by Damodar Valley Corporation.

Tenughat's 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) long, 55 metres (180 feet) high earthfill embankment dam with composite masonry cum concrete spillway and undersluice structures, concrete diaphragm cut-off wall, rock excavation in foundation, diversion channel, coffer dam, and appurtenant works was built to supply water to the Bokaro Steel Plant and the Bokaro Industrial Area.

According to the Union Tourism Ministry's proposal to increase tourism in each district, the Tenughat dam area in Bokaro has been identified as a potential tourist destination.
