The Legend of Beaver Dam is a Canadian musical comedy horror short film, directed by Jerome Sable and released in 2010. The film stars L. J.

The film premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival, and was named to TIFF's year-end Canada's Top Ten list for 2010. It was subsequently screened at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, where it received an honorable mention in the short films category.
