Dhale (Arabic: الضالع Aḍ-Ḍāliʿ) is one of the Yemeni governorates that was created after the unification of Yemen.

The province also contains mineral resources, most importantly talc, which is used in the manufacture of paper, paint, cosmetics and pesticides.

This governorate is also home to the Damt hot-springs (Ḥamam-Damt), a popular tourist attraction.

The South Yemeni districts, Al Hussein, Al Azariq, Ash Shu'ayb, Jahaf, and Ad Dhale'e, were all in the country's Lahij Governorate.

70% of the area of today's Dhale Governorate was in North Yemen in 1989.
