Cod Beck Reservoir is a man-made lake situated adjacent to the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and near the village of Osmotherley in the English county of North Yorkshire. The reservoir is named after Cod Beck, which is the small river that fills it.

The reservoir is surrounded by woodland and just upstream is the local beauty spot called Sheepwash. Because of its position at the north of the North Yorkshire Moors, the site attracts many visitors from Darlington and Teesside.
