Errwood Reservoir is a drinking-water reservoir in the Peak District National Park, within the county of Derbyshire and very close to the boundary with Cheshire. The reservoir was the second of two reservoirs built in the Goyt Valley, the other one being Fernilee Reservoir. It was constructed by the Stockport Water Corporation at a cost of £1.5 million, with work being completed in 1967; it is currently owned and operated by United Utilities. The reservoir provides drinking water for the town of Stockport and its surrounding areas, and it holds {{convert|4,215|e6L}} of water.

Errwood Sailing Club uses the reservoir for sailing training/racing,[http://errwoodsailing.co.uk/ Errwood Sailing Club Website] and fishing rights are controlled by Errwood Fly Fishing Club.[http://www.effc.co.uk Errwood Fly Fishing Club Website]

The Peak District Boundary Walk runs across Errwood dam and passes above the eastern side of the reservoir.{{Cite book|last=McCloy|first=Andrew|title=Peak District Boundary Walk: 190 Miles Around the Edge of the National Park|publisher=Friends of the Peak District|year=2017|isbn=978-1909461536}}
