The Travianske Reservoir (Ukrainian: Трав'янське водосховище) is a reservoir in eastern Ukraine along the Kharkiv River, and is about 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) long.

The reservoir was first built in 1972, to provide freshwater to the nearby city of Kharkiv.

In 2024, during the Kharkiv offensive of the Russo-Ukrainian war, there were fighting reported in some areas around the reservoir.[1] On July 8, a local resident in the nearby village of Lyptsi was wounded as a result of a drone explosion.[2]
