Dimbokro is a town in south-central Ivory Coast. It is the seat of both Lacs District and N'Zi Region. It is also the seat of and a sub-prefecture of Dimbokro Department. Dimbokro is also a commune.
The town is located along the river N'Zi, approximately 50 km southeast of the official capital of Ivory Coast, Yamoussoukro. Dimbokro is connected by both road and railway from the country's commercial capital and de facto political capital Abidjan on the coast. Except for a textile factory, the town is of limited size and economic importance.
