Qingshan Dam ({{zh|t=青山壩|s=青山坝|first=t|p=Qīngshān Bà|tp=Cingshan Bà|w=Ch'ing¹-shan¹ Pa⁴}}) is a concrete gravity forebay dam on the Dajia River in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan. The dam is the second in a cascade of hydroelectric power plants along the Dajia River, and is located directly below the Techi Dam and upstream of the Kukuan Dam. The dam was built between 1964 and 1970 and stands {{convert|45|m|ft|abbr=on}} high and {{convert|100|m|ft|abbr=on}} long, storing up to {{convert|600000|m3|acre feet|abbr=on}} in its reservoir.{{cite book|title=Reservoirs and Weirs in Taiwan|publisher=Taiwan Water Resources Agency, Ministry of Public Affairs|language=zh|page=327}}

The dam supplies water to a power station with a capacity of 360 megawatts (MW) from four 90 MW turbines, generating 591 million kilowatt hours annually. It is the largest of the hydroelectric plants along the Dajia River.{{cite web|url=http://energymonthly.tier.org.tw/200901/22.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110815171315/http://energymonthly.tier.org.tw/200901/22.pdf|archive-date=2011-08-15|title=大甲溪|publisher=Taiwan Water Resources Agency|date=2009-01-22|access-date=2013-06-25|language=zh}}
