The Bromelton Dam is an earth-fill embankment dam located off-stream at Gleneagle in the South East region of Queensland, Australia. The main purpose of the dam is for potable water supply of the Beaudesert area.^[2] The resultant reservoir is called Bromelton Offstream Storage.

Since its completion, Bromelton Offstream Storage delivered an additional 5,000 megalitres (1,100×10^⁶ imp gal; 1,300×10^⁶ US gal) in water supply capacity, working in conjunction with Cedar Grove Weir and the Wyaralong Dam, that was completed in 2001, to improve the reliability of the Logan River Water Supply Scheme in drought conditions.
