Jordán Reservoir (Czech: Jordán) is a reservoir inside the city of Tábor, South Bohemian Region, Czech Republic. Built in 1492, it is the oldest dam on the territory of the Czech Republic.

The reservoir was created by creating an earth dam across the Košín brook (Košínský potok, also known as Tismenice) with the purpose of providing drinking water for the town's inhabitants. Later, it was used for aquaculture. Today it is used as a place of recreation. The levée of the reservoir is 18 metres high, and the area is 50 ha. It contains around 3 million m3 of water. The deepest point is 12.5 metres below the surface.
