The Dodge Dynasty is a front-wheel drive sedan that was introduced in 1987 as a 1988 model year to replace the 600 as Dodge's mid-size car. Production continued until 1993.

The Dodge Dynasty is related to the Chrysler New Yorker; both car lines were built on the Chrysler C platform in Belvidere, Illinois. It is also similar to the Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue and Chrysler Imperial, which were available from 1990-93 on an extended wheelbase platform of the Chrysler New Yorker.

The Lee Iacocca-dictated styling was boxy and conservative compared to more aerodynamically styled competitors such as the Ford Taurus. Dynasty trim levels included base and LE. Additionally, a "Brougham" package was offered on 1992-93 LE models that added a padded vinyl roof that was called "landau".

A 2.5-litre inline-4 Chrysler engine, a Mitsubishi-sourced 3.0-litre V6, the 6G72 engine, and a Chrysler-built 3.3-litre V6 were available, although the 3.3 L V6 was not available until 1990. The four-cylinder came equipped with a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission (the A413). The 3.0 L and the 3.3 L were offered solely with Chrysler's then-new electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission, known as the Ultradrive or A604 (List of Chrysler transmissions). The vast majority of Dynastys sold to private customers had V6 engines; four-cylinder models mostly went to the fleet market.
