Chhindari Dam is a medium irrigation project built across the Pipariya River, about 8km (05miles) west of Chhuikhadan in the Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai district of Chhattisgarh, India. It is the largest dam of the district and gets its name from the neighbouring village of Chhindari.

The actual utilization as compared with the designed potential is very poor, about 61%. The reason could be the low rainfall or the low maintenance of the canal system.
