Dale is a town in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, United States, established on November 17, 1853. The population was 2,731 at the 2010 census. The census-designated place of Dale and the unincorporated community of Medina are located in the town.
The land encompassing the town of Dale was originally a part of the neighboring town of Hortonia. It was first separated from and organized as the town of Medina on December 16, 1851 in a special night session of Hortonia's town board. Dissension arose about the proposed borders of the new town. Therefore, just over two months later on February 23, 1852, the action to create the Town of Medina was unanimously repealed by the board, returning the land to Hortonia.
Nearly two years later, the town of Dale was established on November 18, 1853, again separating control from the town of Hortonia.

As of the census of 2000, there were 2,288 people, 785 households, and 658 families residing in the town. The population density was 75.2 people per square mile (29.0/km²). There were 812 housing units at an average density of 26.7 per square mile (10.3/km²).
