Dansha is a town in Tigray, Ethiopia, located in the northwestern part of the country.

On July 7, 1988, during the Ethiopian Civil War, the Ethiopia government's Third Revolutionary Army's 603 Army Corps was ambushed by the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) as it was leaving its base at Dansha, resulting in around 2,000 government casualties.

[1][2] Dansha was part of Begemder Province until the 1987 Constitution of Ethiopia divided the country into regions on September 18, 1987, at which time Dansha became a part of North Gonder Region.

During the 4 November Northern Command Attacks, forces loyal to the TPLF attacked the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Command of the Ethiopian National Defense Force in Dansha.
