Dragoslavele is a commune in the northern part of Argeș County, Romania, located by the former border between Wallachia and Transylvania, on the Wallachian side. It is a relatively important location for boarding house tourism. The commune is composed of two villages, Dragoslavele and Valea Hotarului.
The commune lies at the bottom of the Southern Carpathians' slopes (at one end of the Bran Pass, the narrow valley separating the Piatra Craiului and Bucegi ranges), on the banks of the Dâmbovița River.
