Dawes is a British bicycle manufacturer, known for their high quality hand built bicycles. Dawes produces a full range of bikes, including road, mountain bikes and tandems, but are best known for their touring bikes, specifically the Galaxy and the Super Galaxy.

Dawes was one of the first companies to produce a complete single speed mountain bike, the Edge One.

Some vintage Dawes cycles have a distinctive curved seat tube that parallels the rear wheel closely, in order to reduce the wheelbase.
