Dobrohošť (Hungarian: Doborgaz, Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈdoborɡɒz]) is a village and municipality in the Dunajská Streda District in the Trnava Region of south-west Slovakia.

In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1238, when it was the part of the Kingdom of Hungary. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops occupied the area, later acknowledged internationally by the Treaty of Trianon. Between 1938 and 1945 Dobrohošť once more became part of Miklós Horthy's Hungary through the First Vienna Award. From 1945 until the Velvet Divorce, it was part of Czechoslovakia. Since then it has been part of Slovakia.

The municipality lies at an altitude of 123 metres and covers an area of 4.855 km². It has a population of about 371 people.
