East Leichhardt Dam is a dam built in 1961 on the East Leichhardt River which impounds Lake Mary Kathleen, Queensland. The dam is located 25 km east of Mount Isa, Queensland, and 9 km south of the Barkly Highway.

The dam was built to be an emergency supply of water for the now-closed Mary Kathleen uranium mine. However, Lake Corella was sufficient.

The dam has a capacity of 12,100 megalitres.{{Cite web|last=Queensland|first=c=AU; o=The State of|title=Community access to state-owned dams and weirs {{!}} Dams and catchment areas|url=https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/water/catchments/state-owned-dams|access-date=2021-10-28|website=www.qld.gov.au|language=en}}
