Dasmariñas (), officially the City of Dasmariñas (), is a component city in the province of Cavite, Philippines. According to the , it has a population of people. With a land area of , it is the largest city both in terms of area and population in Cavite and the wealthiest local government unit in the province.

Being located just from Imus and south of Manila, the growing congestion and conurbation of the Manila Metropolitan area has led to its rapid development in the late 1900s. This growth is manifested by the influx of major shopping malls, hospitals, universities, banks, industrial parks, and the growing number of residential subdivisions accommodating its growing population.
