The Roselend dam is a French buttress dam located in Beuafortain, in the department of Savoie, near the port of Cormet de Roselend and the ski resort of Arêches-Beaufort. It is surrounded by mountains that reach 2800 meters of altitude.

It has a length of 800 meters, a height of 150 meters, and a capacity of up to 185 million cubic meters. It is linked to the dams of Gittaz and Saint-Guérin, as well as to the central of the Bâthie, composing the hydraulic complex of Beaufortin, and is considered the most aesthetic prey of those of Savoy.

Construction work began in 1955, and was completed in 1962.
