Mandraka Dam is a gravity dam on the Mandraka River near Mandraka in the Analamanga Region of Madagascar. The dam was constructed by a French firm by 1956 and creates Lake Mandraka. The dam supplies water to a 24 MW hydroelectric power station 1.9 km (1.2 mi) to the east down in the valley. The change in elevation between the dam and power station affords a hydraulic head on 226 m (741 ft).
