Dolichoplana is a genus of land planarians in the tribe Rhynchodemini.
== Description == Species of the genus Dolichoplana are characterized by a very elongate and flattened body with creeping sole of moderate width. The anterior end is rounded and slightly concave, bordered by glandular and sensory tracts, and has two large eyes. The parenchymal longitudinal musculature is restricted to the ventral region. The copulatory apparatus has a long and folded chamber in the male atrium, without a penis papilla. A prominent diverticulum opens into the common atrium from its posterior wall.
