Dibenzodioxin, C₁₂H₈O₂, is an organic heterocyclic compound in which two benzene rings are attached to a dioxin ring.

The name generally refers to the dibenzo-"p"-dioxin, as no detailed information is available on the dibenzo-"o"-dioxin isomer, expected to be highly unstable with peroxidelike characteristics.
