The Murum Dam is a proposed hydroelectric dam in the province of Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Concerns have been raised about the displacement of the Dayak people and the removal of rainforest due to the construction of the dam.

The dam site is located on the Murum River, which is in the uppermost part of the Rajang River basin, 200 km (124 mi) far away from Bintulu. The upstream of Rajang river includes four steps, which are Pelagus, Bakun, Murum, and BEL.aga. The Murum Hydroelectric Project is the second Step-Hydroelectric Project of the four steps to be constructed, 70 km (43 mi) far away from the constructing Bakun Hydroelectric Project downstream.
