Dagana དར་དཀར་ན་རྫོང་ཁག་(also spelled Dhakana, previously known as Daga) is one of the 20 dzongkhag (districts) comprising Bhutan.

Legend has it that the people of Dagana were a lawless bunch in the 17th century, and that the Shabdrung had to send in soldiers to gain control over the dzongkha.

Dagana itself is divided into eleven gewogs:

• Dorona Gewog
• Drujegang Gewog
• Gesarling Gewog
• Goshi Gewog
• Kana Gewog
• Khebisa Gewog
• Lajab Gewog
• Tashiding Gewog
• Tsangkha Gewog
• Tsendagana Gewog
• Tseza Gewog
