The Dodge 30-35 was an American passenger car, the first car introduced by the Dodge Brothers company in Detroit on November 14, 1914.

The car had a side-controlled 4-cylinder in-line engine with 3479 cm³, which delivered an output of 35 bhp (25.7 kW). This cubic capacity corresponded to 30 tax horsepower , which explains the name 30-35. The rear wheels were driven via a leather cone clutch and a three-speed gearbox with center shift. The rear wheels were braked mechanically. In the short model year 1914 there was only a 4-door tourer (the driver's "door" could not be opened, however), from January 1915 there was also a 2-door roadster with 2 seats. From this point on, electrical lighting was also part of the basic equipment.

When the series was replaced by the Model 30 in July 1916 , a total of 116,400 copies were made, 150 of which were used by the US Army, among other things, for the hunt for the Mexican bandit Pancho Villa .
