Gouverneur Reservoir is a reservoir in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) north-west of Cadillac along the course of Notukeu Creek in the Rural Municipality of Wise Creek No. 77. Notukeu Creek is a tributary of the Wood River in the Old Wives Lake watershed. The reservoir is impounded by Gouverneur Dam, which was built in 1951.

The community of Gouverneur — named after Gouverneur Ogden, a former vice president of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) — is near the eastern shore and a boat launch is on the western one.
