Store Damme is a village in Fanefjord Parish on the western part of the Danish island of Møn, Vordingborg Municipality. With a population of 552 (1 January 2024)[1] it is the second largest community on the island after Stege.
The village was the site of a rytterskole (English: rider school) from 1726.

In 1992, thanks to the support of Karen Strand (1924–2000), the Danish Jewellery Museum (Danmarks Smykkemuseum) was inaugurated in Store Damme
