Campos Novos Dam, Embankment dam in Santa Catarina, Brazil.

Campos Novos Dam is a concrete-faced rock fill dam (CFRD) on the Canoas River in Santa Catarina, 202 metres high and carrying the road between Campos Novos and Celso Ramos. Its reservoir feeds three turbines of the Campos Novos hydroelectric plant, and a second dam downstream helps hold a little over 2 cubic kilometres of water.

The project started in 2001 and was completed after about five years, with substantial investment directed into construction. Shortly after finishing, integrity issues appeared that required additional work.

The dam doubles as a road bridge over the Canoas River, linking the municipalities of Campos Novos and Celso Ramos. Before construction, archaeologist Marcos Masi of the Federal University of Santa Catarina surveyed the region's archaeological sites; the findings are to be organised in the Campos Novos city museum. Public and private school teachers were also offered training courses in heritage education.

The dam doubles as a road crossing over the Canoas River, linking the municipalities of Campos Novos and Celso Ramos on the midwestern plateau of Santa Catarina. Access is by road from either town; the crest carries the connecting road, so the structure is seen in passing rather than on a dedicated tour.
