The Dragon Coast is a geographical region in the fictional fantasy setting of the Forgotten Realms. It lies at the western extent of the Sea of Fallen Stars, on the southern shore of the Dragonmere, and to the north of the Shinning Plains. To the west it borders upon the nation of Turmish. Much of this land is occupied by the forest Gulthmere. It is separated from Turmish by the Orsraun Mountains.

Unlike nearby Cormyr and Sembia, the Dragon Coast has never been able to unite, and the region has seen the rise and fall of numerous city-states.^[1] Corruption is commonplace. The Red Wizards of Thay and the Cult of the Dragon both make strategic use of the region.^[1]
