The Keban Dam (Turkish: Keban Barajı) is a hydroelectric dam on the Euphrates located in the Elazığ Province of Turkey. The dam was the first and uppermost of several large-scale dams to be built on the Euphrates by Turkey. Although the Keban Dam was not originally constructed as a part of the Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) it is now a fully integrated component of the project which aims to stimulate economic development in Southeastern Turkey.
