The Dodge Dynasty was a mid-range front-wheel drive sedan offered by the US automaker Dodge from 1987 to 1993.

For the 1988 model year, the Dynasty appeared on the basis of Chrysler's new C platform. The Dynasty was the Dodge parallel model to the Chrysler New Yorker of the model years 1988 to 1993. The propulsion in the Dynasty was on the one hand Chrysler's own 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder with three-speed automatic transmission and the 3.0-liter V6 from Mitsubishi Four-speed automatic. From the 1990 model year there was also a 3.3-liter V6 from Chrysler for an extra charge.

The model range was divided into a basic model (with a four-cylinder engine) and a Dynasty LE (with a three-liter engine). The 3.0-liter as well as the 3.3-liter were available in the basic model at an additional cost. The very angular Dynasty only underwent minor changes during its production life, which mainly concerned small equipment details and the color palette.

A total of 522,000 copies were made of the Dynasty during the six years of production.
