The María Cristina reservoir is located in the municipality of Alcora, in the province of Castellón, Spain.

The works began in 1901 and ended in 1925 after several problems during its construction. It is located in the bed of the Rambla de la Viuda, on an area of 265 hectares and with a maximum capacity of 19.59 hm³. The dam is of the gravity arch type built with concrete, with a height of 59 meters and a crest length of 318 m. It has a free sheet spillway with a capacity of 597 m³/s. It is used to recharge the aquifers of the Plana Alta and Plana Baixa regions, it has a capacity of 18.4 hm³.

This dam has overflowed three times due to strong flooding due to cold drops. In 1920 (during construction), 1962 and 2000, the latter caused a hole with a large leak rate in the concrete structure of the dam, and set off all the alarms.

The dam belongs to the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation.
