The Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) (Chinese: 大连化学物理研究所), also called Huawusuo (化物所), is a research centre specialized in physical chemistry, chemical physics, biophysical chemistry, chemical engineering and materials science belonging to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Having its origin in South Manchuria Railway's research department, which later became the Central Research Centre, the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics was thus named in 1961 and moved its location from 129 Street (at Zhongshan Road) to the current address in 1995.

In the past half century, the institute has become internationally recognised for its research in catalytic chemistry, chemical engineering, chemical laser and molecular reaction dynamics, organic synthesis and chromatography for modern analytic chemistry and biotechnology.

In December 2019, a Chinese team involving scientists from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and the company Feye UAV Technology developed a methanol-powered fuel system that kept a drone in the air for 12 hours, the FY-36.
