Sarimbun Reservoir (Chinese: 莎琳汶蓄水池) is one of the four reservoirs in the Western Water Catchment of Singapore. Presently, the Sarimbun Reservoir is part of the Live Firing Area of the Singapore Armed Forces and has restricted access. It is the smallest among the four reservoirs within the firing area.

The reservoir is near the location of where the first Japanese troops landed on Singapore on 8 February 1942 where they fought against the Australian troops defending Singapore.
