Lotru-Ciunget Dam and Hydro Power Plant plant is a large hydroelectric complex on the Lotru River situated in Romania.

The project was started and finished in the 1970s and it was made up by the construction of a rockfill with a clay core dam 140 m high and an underground power plant equipped with three hydrounits, having an installed capacity of 510 MW. The Pelton type turbines operate under a net head of about 800 m. A 220 kV outdoor substation connects the plant to the Romanian electric grid.

The power plant generates 1.15 TW·h (billion kW·h) of electricity per year.
