Szolnok-Doboka was an administrative county (comitatus) of the Kingdom of Hungary. Its territory is now in northern Romania (northern Transylvania). The capital of the county was Dés (now Dej, Romania).
Szolnok-Doboka county shared borders with the Hungarian counties Szilágy, Szatmár, Máramaros, Beszterce-Naszód and Kolozs. The river Szamos flowed through the county. Its area was 4786 km² around 1910.
Szolnok-Doboka county was formed in 1876, when the county Belső-Szolnok was united with part of the Doboka region.
In 1920 by the Treaty of Trianon the county became part of Romania except from 1940 until the end of World War II, when it was returned to Hungary by the Second Vienna Award. The territory of the county is now divided under the Romanian counties Cluj (the center and south, a.o. Dej), Maramureş (the north), Bistriţa-Năsăud (the east) and Sălaj (the west).
