The St. Francis Dam was a concrete gravity dam located in San Francisquito Canyon in Los Angeles County, California, United States, built from 1924 to 1926 to serve Los Angeles's growing water needs. It catastrophically failed in 1928 due to a defective soil foundation and design flaws, triggering a flood that claimed the lives of at least 431 people. The collapse of the dam is considered to be one of the worst American civil engineering disasters of the 20th century and remains the second-greatest loss of life in California's history, after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire.

rdfs:comment	Die St.-Francis-Talsperre war eine gekrümmte Gewichtsstaumauer aus Beton mit einem großen Stausee nahe bei Los Angeles in Kalifornien. Die Staumauer wurde von 1924 bis 1926 unter der Leitung von William Mulholland, einem Ingenieur des Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, gebaut. Die Staumauer brach wenige Minuten vor Mitternacht am 12. März 1928. Die entstehende Flutwelle tötete zwischen 550 und 600 Menschen. 2019 wurden dort ein Saint Francis Dam Disaster National Monument und ein Saint Francis Dam Disaster National Memorial ausgewiesen. (de) La diga St. Francis era una diga in calcestruzzo ad arco a gravità situata in California negli Stati Uniti d'America, che era stata progettata per creare un bacino idrico per la città di Los Angeles. Situata a 50 miglia (80 km) a nordovest di Los Angeles, la diga si trovava nei pressi di Santa Clarita.
