The Mratinje Dam (Template:Langx) is a concrete arch dam in the canyon of the Piva River in Montenegro.

The dam was completed in 1975 with designs by Energoprojekt.[1] Its construction resulted in the flooding of the Piva Canyon and the creation of the Piva Lake, which, with its 12.5 km², is the second largest lake in Montenegro.

The hydroelectric power station at Mratinje is capable of producing 860 gigawatt-hours per annum. It has three turbines and generators, each with a generation capacity of 120 MW.

The location of the 16th century Piva Monastery was flooded by the lake, so while the dam was built, the monastery was broken into pieces and moved to a higher ground, 3.5 km away. It was reconstructed in the original way.
