The Dorset History Centre, formerly known as the Dorset Records Office, is run by Dorset County Council and contains material related to the history of the county of Dorset, England.

Its collections comprise two main strands: Dorset Archives, unique records of the people, organisations and communities of Dorset from 965 AD to the present, and Dorset Local Studies, a collection of 15,000 books plus newspapers and other material about Dorset, its history, people and environment.

The History Centre is housed in newly-built offices on Bridport Road, Dorchester. It is open to all, and is free of charge.
