Braddock Reservoir is a protected reservoir about 38 kilometres (24 mi) south-east of Swift Current in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The reservoir is along Wiwa Creek, which is a tributary of the Wood River, in the Old Wives Lake endorheic basin. The community of Braddock is near the lake's western end. Access is from Highway 721.

In 1951, Braddock Dam was built across Wiwa Creek creating Braddock Reservoir. The dam is owned by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency.
