Dombóvár (; ; ) is a town in Tolna County, Hungary. It is the third largest settlement in Tolna County after Szekszárd (the county seat) and Paks.
Archeologic excavations show that the Dombóvár area has been continuously populated since the Stone Age. During the Roman rule over Pannonia around 8 AD it was known as Pons Sociorum Mansuectina (Kapos River Crossing) because of the bridge that was built there. After the Roman withdrawal from the area, it was populated by the Slavs, who named the settlement after oak trees (dobov(o) in proto-Slavic).
