Lac Sainte-Anne is a reservoir in the Côte-Nord administrative region of the Canadian province of Québec .

The original lake was dammed in 1958 by the Barrage du Lac-Sainte-Anne dam.

Between 2003 and 2005, the 77 m high Barrage de la Toulnustouc (near ) was built 12 km downstream of the Rivière Toulnustouc and the river valley between the reservoir and the new dam was flooded.

A few kilometers downstream is the Centrale de la Toulnustouc storage power plant (at ). It is supplied with water from the dam via a 9.8 km long tunnel at a drop height of 152 m. The installed capacity is 526  MW .
