Dogwood is an unincorporated community in northwestern Douglas County, Missouri, United States.

[4] In 1879, a Civil War veteran built a log store building and home near a spring surrounded by dogwoods along the route of the Springfield–Rockbridge portion of the old Salt Road along which salt, lumber and other materials had long been transported between northern Arkansas and Springfield.

In 1932, due to widening and re-routing of Route 14, the church was moved to its current location north of the cemetery.

The Dogwood fire tower and state hunting area on Tigris Peak is 1.7 miles (2.7 km) to the southeast.
