Boshaw Whams Reservoir is an upland waterbody near to the village of Hade Edge, in West Yorkshire, England. The site was originally built in 1840 to keep a supply of water for mill-owners downstream, but is now owned by Yorkshire Water but still used as a compensation reservoir for river water levels. It is used recreationally by a sailing club and for fishing. It is the only known site in Yorkshire where the invasive narrow-clawed crayfish is present.
