Dacorum est un district non métropolitain du Hertfordshire, en Angleterre. Il comprend les villes de Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring, ainsi que la partie ouest de Kings Langley. Il tire son nom de l'ancien hundred de Dacorum, qui recouvrait approximativement le même territoire. Le district est créé le 1er avril 1974, par le Local Government Act de 1972. Il rassemble le district municipal de Hemel Hempstead, les districts urbains de Berkhamsted et Tring, les districts ruraux de Berkhamsted et Hemel Hempstead, et les portions des districts ruraux de St Albans et Watford intégrées à la ville nouvelle de Hemel Hempstead. Dacorum reçoit le statut de borough en 1984.
