Cotting Burn is a tributary of the River Wansbeck in Northumberland. A dam was built on the burn in 2017, togrther with a water storage area, as part of the flood defence scheme for Morpeth. Cotting Burn Dam was later renamed The Hargreaves Dam, in memory of regional flood and coastal committee chairman, Jon Hargreaves, who died in October 2016.
