Perry Barr Reservoir is a covered drinking water reservoir, in north Birmingham, England. Built on the site of the former Perry Barr Farm, it is not, despite its name, in the modern Perry Barr area, but nearby Kingstanding, at gbmapping|SP083951.

The reservoir is supplied by gravity from Frankley Water Treatment Works via the trunk mains system.

The reservoir holds 83 million litres of water and supplies areas such as Kingstanding, Perry Barr, Great Barr and Witton.

When built, it was in open countryside, but its surroundings are now urban.
