The Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta is a regatta in the English county of Devon. The first recorded regatta was in 1822 and the regatta was formally established in 1834. It is based on the River Dart, in the town of Dartmouth, and the village of Kingswear opposite.

The Regatta takes place over the Thursday, Friday and Saturday where the Friday is the last Friday in August. The Regatta is formally opened on the preceding Wednesday evening, although as the regatta has grown, some events start as early as the weekend before.

The Regatta is organised by a committee, and a review is presented at a public meeting each year called by Dartmouth Town Council. Many other organisations are involved in running events under the auspices of the Regatta Committee.
