🦌European fallow deer
Dådyr (Dama dama) er en drøvtygger, der tilhører hjortefamilien. På mange punkter ligner det kronhjorten, men er mere nøjsomt og mindre sky. Dådyret er derfor nemt at tæmme og findes i mange dyreparker, hvor det er muligt at komme helt tæt på det. I de senere år er der også opstået dådyrfarme, hvor dyrene avles til slagtning. I Danmark lever dådyret kun i få vilde flokke, mest talrigt på Øerne, især på Midt- og Sydsjælland, Lolland, det sydøstlige Fyn og Langeland. I Jylland er dådyret mere spredt, men har dog gennem de seneste årtier bredt sig til mange nye lokaliteter. Siden midten af 1980'erne er der generelt sket en markant stigning i jagtudbyttet af arten.
