The county of Dagmar is a cadastral division of Queensland north-west of Cairns. It contains the town of Julatten.[1]

On 7 March 1901, the Governor issued a proclamation legally dividing Queensland into counties under the Land Act 1897.[2] Its schedule described Dagmar thus:

Bounded on the north-west by the county of Chelmsford; on the south-west and south by the Mitchell and Hodgkinson Rivers upwards to Deep Creek, by that creek upwards to its head, and by the northern watershed of the Hodgkinson River easterly to the western watershed of the Barron River; and on the east and north-east by the Coast Range northerly to the county of Chelmsford.
