Valdragone is a village (curazia) in central San Marino. It belongs to the castello of Borgo Maggiore.

The village is divided into two areas: Valdragone di Sopra (Upper V.) and Valdragone di Sotto (Lower V.). It is situated close at the east of Borgo Maggiore and also close to Cailungo and Domagnano.

The name of Valdragone appears for the first time in historical documents of 1253. The Monastero di Santa Chiara was built from 1969-1971.

According to legend, the name "Valdragone" comes from stories of a dragon that appeared there.
