Dorrigo is a small town located in northern New South Wales, Australia. It is approximately 580 kilometres north of the state capital, Sydney, and 60 kilometres from the coastal city of Coffs Harbour. The town is situated on the Dorrigo Plateau , which is part of the Great Dividing Range, and has a population of 2400. Dorrigo is 760 metres above sea level.

European settlement of the area followed on from the early timber cutters in the 1860's. The dairy industry became a mainstay of the area, and today, tourism is becoming more important. The nearby Dorrigo National Park and New England National Park cater for persons interested in natural sights. The Dorrigo Steam Railway is currently being set up in the town as a museum and working exhibit.
