Dobwalls (Cornish: Fos an Mogh) is a village in south-east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated 3 mi (5 km) west of Liskeard.

The name is spelt Dubwalls on Bartholomew's map and Black's Guide of 1879. At the 2011 census the population of the village was included in the civil parish of Dobwalls and Trewidland

The A38 trunk road ran through the village until the bypass was opened on 19 December 2008. The bypass has two of the most elaborate bat bridges built so far in the UK (previous examples in Wales being wooden posts with cables). Twelve native species of bats are found in the area.

Until 2006, the Dobwalls Adventure Park tourist attraction was located north of the village.
