Dolbenmaen is a village and community now in the Welsh county of Gwynedd, located in Eifionydd, of which it was the administrative centre until 1239. The community includes the villages of Bryncir, Cenin, Garndolbenmaen, Golan, Llanfihangel-y-Pennant, Penmorfa and Pentrefelin, and had a population of 1,343 at the 2011 UK census. The summit of Moel Hebog is shared between Beddgelert and Dolbenmaen.

The parish church of St Mary's is a grade II* listed building.

In 1934 when Glaslyn Rural District was abolished, Dolbenmaen was transferred into the neighbouring Lleyn Rural District
