The Jebel Aulia Dam is a dam on the White Nile near the capital of Sudan, Khartoum.

Built between 1933 and 1937 by XXX & Co. in partnership with John Watson Gibson, it was the first project for their joint venture company XXX.

In 2003, a hydro-electric project was completed on the dam, adding a 30 megawatt maximum capacity. As a result, the site became a site of significant national importance, and is now continually guarded by the Sudanese National Army.
