The Tuckertown Reservoir is the lake formed by the Tuckertown Dam at the North end of Badin Lake and the High Rock Dam at the bottom of High Rock Lake in the Uwharrie Lakes Region in the U.S. state of North Carolina.

The reservoir is located in Davidson County, Stanly County, Montgomery County, and Rowan County. The reservoir contains the wide and navigable waterway of the Yadkin River. The Reservoir is an important point as it is the location of two important crossing points. One is the Bringle Ferry Bridge that bridges the river between High Rock (in Davidson County) and Pooletown (in Rowan County).

The bridge offers a spectacular view of the High Rock Dam. The second crossing is the NC Hwy 49 Bridge at Tuckertown. The next bridge north of the Bringle Ferry Bridge is located at the Interstate 85 crossing near Salisbury.

The next bridge south of the NC Hwy 49 Bridge is at the Lake Tillery Bridge between Albemarle and Troy. The Tuckertown Reservoir occupies a narrow valley in the western edge of the ancient Uwharrie Mountains.
