Dacorum is a local government district with borough status in Hertfordshire, England. The council is based in Hemel Hempstead. The borough also includes the towns of Berkhamsted and Tring and surrounding villages. The borough had a population of 155,081 in 2021.

The borough of Dacorum is the westernmost of Hertfordshire's ten districts. It borders St Albans, Three Rivers, Buckinghamshire and Central Bedfordshire.
==History== Dacorum was one of the hundreds of Hertfordshire. In the Domesday Book of 1086 the area was recorded as two separate hundreds: Danais (meaning "of the Danes") and Tring. The name Danais relates to a period in Saxon times when the area formed part of the Danelaw, which covered much of what is now eastern England, although the duration and extent of Danish presence in Hertfordshire remain uncertain and continue to be debated by historians.
