Giritale tank (Sinhala: ගිරිතලේ වැව) is a reservoir in Giritale and Minneriya. It was built by King Agbo II (608 CE-618 CE). It's believed that the tank was renovated by King Parakramabahu the Great (1153 CE – 1186 CE). Later, it was subjected to renovation in 1905, 1942, and 1952 during colonial era.

This was considered the deepest tank in Sri Lanka during the rule of the medieval capital Polonnaruwa.
