The Grishk Dam is located on a canal next to the city of Grishk in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. It is a gravity dam with a hydroelectric power plant. About {{cvt|2.7|mi}} to the northeast is the Canal Intake Structure, which provides water from the Helmand River to Grishk Dam.

A 2003 technical journal noted, that the Grishk power plant was commissioned on an irrigation canal in 1945, and had two damaged and obsolete 1.2 megawatt units which would cost US$3 million to repair.{{cite book|author1=International Commission on Large Dams|author2=International Association for Hydraulic Research|author3=International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage|title=International journal on hydropower & dams|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rchQAAAAYAAJ|accessdate=1 April 2011|year=2003|publisher=Aqua-Media International|page=99}}
