Dick Dent Bird Sanctuary is a 10 hectares (25 acres) reserve in Cape Town, South Africa.

This isolated bird sanctuary is located near the estuary of the Lourens River. It used to be the site of a waste water treatment works but is now protected within the Lourens River Protected Natural Environment. It is managed by the nearby Helderberg Nature Reserve with help from the Somerset West Bird Club, and it is now a habitat for a great many water birds.[1]
