Dhubri is a city and the administrative centre of Dhubri district in the Indian state of Assam. It is an old town on the bank of the Brahmaputra River, with historical significance. In 1883, the town was first constituted as a municipal board under the British regime. It is situated about 277.4 kilometres (172 mi) west from Dispur, the state capital of Assam.
The town is also an important commercial centre and had a busy river port, particularly for jute. Dhubri is called the "Land of Rivers" as it is covered on three sides by the Brahmaputra and Gangadhar rivers.
