Dadra is a small town in the Indian Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. It is an enclave lying a few kilometres north of Nagar Haveli in Gujarat.

Dadra is located 6 km west of Silvassa, the capital of union territory. Dadra consists of Dadra town and two other villages.

Until 1954, Dadra was part of Portuguese India. Under Portuguese rule, Dadra formed a freguesia (administrative parish) of the Nagar Haveli concelho (municipality). In turn, the Nagar Haveli concelho was part of the Daman district.
