Dovre National Park is a national park in Hedmark and Oppland, Norway, that was established in 2003. Dovre covers an area of 289 km² and the altitude varies from the tree-line around 1000 meters to 1716 meters (Folkstuhøe peak).

The park lies between the two larger and older parks Rondane and Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella, which are north and south, respectively. Its opening was part of the larger expansion of Rondane, when Rondane National Park was enlarged and smaller areas of nature protection were opened or enlarged.

Like Dovrefjell and Rondane, Dovre hosts reindeer and musk ox.
