Il Dodecaneso o Dodecanneso (in greco Δωδεκάνησα, pr. Dodekánisa, dal significato letterale di "dodici isole") è un arcipelago della Grecia, compreso tra l'Asia Minore (odierna Turchia), l'isola di Creta a Sud, le Cicladi ad Ovest e l'isola di Samo a Nord. Dal punto di vista amministrativo era una prefettura appartenente alla regione dell'Egeo Meridionale, abolita a partire dal 1º gennaio 2011 a seguito dell'entrata in vigore della riforma amministrativa detta programma Callicrate. Il capoluogo era la città di Rodi.
