Réservoir-Dozois ({{IPA|fr|ʁezɛʁvwaʁ dozwa}}) is an unorganized territory in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of Quebec, Canada. It is the largest of five unorganized territories in the La Vallée-de-l'Or Regional County Municipality and entirely part of the La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve.
It is named after the Dozois Reservoir, a large reservoir which formed after the construction of the Bourque Dam on the Ottawa River in 1949. In turn, the name Dozois comes from Nazaire-Servule Dozois (1859-1932), a missionary in the Témiscamingue area and assistant general of the Oblates from 1904 to 1932.{{cite web |url=https://toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/ct/ToposWeb/Fiche.aspx?no_seq=19187 |title=Réservoir Dozois |accessdate=2023-11-15 |publisher=Commission de toponymie du Québec |language=French}}
