The Mystic Dam is a historic dam between Lower and Upper Mystic Lakes in Winchester, Massachusetts, USA.

The dam was built in 1864 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Listed as one of a number of unsafe dams in Massachusetts, it underwent major renovation in 2010 that significantly expanded its spillway capacity. The dam's historic gatehouse is nearby.
