Der Seathwaite Tarn ist ein Stausee im Lake District, Cumbria, England. Der Seathwaite Tarn ist ein natürlicher See, der zwischen 1904 und 1907 durch den Bau eines Damms aufgestaut wurde, um Trinkwasser für Barrow-in-Furness bereitzustellen. Der See liegt südlich des und nördlich der Seathwaite Fells am Rande des Duddon Valley und nördlich des Ortes Seathwaite. Durch die 366 m lange Staumauer erreicht der See eine Tiefe von 28 m. Der Tarn Beck, der in den River Duddon mündet, bildet seinen Abfluss.

Seathwaite Tarn is a reservoir in the Furness Fells within the English Lake District. It is located to the south of Grey Friar and to the west of Brim Fell (on the ridge between The Old Man of Coniston and Swirl How) and north east of the village of Seathwaite on the east of the Duddon Valley. In order to create a source of drinking water the existing tarn was considerably enlarged with a dam in 1904. During the dam construction some of the navvies rioted damaging buildings in the village, several rioters were shot, one dying the next day.

Seathwaite Tarn is a reservoir in the Furness Fells within the English Lake District. It is located to the south of Grey Friar and to the west of Brim Fell (on the ridge between The Old Man of Coniston and Swirl How) and north east of the village of Seathwaite on the east of the Duddon Valley. In order to create a source of drinking water the existing tarn was considerably enlarged with a dam in 1904. During the dam construction some of the navvies rioted damaging buildings in the village, several rioters were shot, one dying the next day. The dam is almost 400 yards (366 m) long and is concrete cored with slate buttresses, the resulting depth of the tarn being around 80 feet (24 m). Water is not abstracted directly from the tarn, but flows some distance downriver to an off-take weir. On the slopes of Brim Fell, above the head of the reservoir, are the remains of Seathwaite Tarn Mine. This was worked for copper in the mid 19th century, and also appears as a location in the novel The Plague Dogs by Richard Adams. Rocks in the area were the first confirmed occurrence of in the British Isles. Bronze Age ring cairns were found close to Seathwaite Tarn in 2003, these were excavated in 2003 and 2007. Seathwaite Tarn has suffered from acidification. An experiment in 1992–1993 to reduce the acidification by using a phosphorus-based fertiliser increased the pH from 5.1 to 5.6 and changed the levels of the different species of the rotifer assemblage significantly.
