Leighton Reservoir is a reservoir which drains via the River Burn to the River Ure in North Yorkshire, England. It neighbours Roundhill Reservoir and is about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Masham. It takes its name from the nearby village of Leighton.
Water from the reservoir is used to compensate for abstraction from the River Ure.[1]
Although not in Nidderdale, the reservoir is within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.[1]
