Dundee Science Centre (formerly known as Sensation) is a science centre located in Dundee, Scotland, and a part of the Scottish Science Centres Network. It is a registered charity under Scottish law.[1] It is funded by the public and donations from local corporate sponsors.

The interactive exhibits focus mainly on the life sciences, and in particular on the senses. There is also a focus on robotics, and a practical exploration of science learning.

Dundee Science Centre is also a corporate venue and a HMIE-inspected resource for science learning and public engagement.

There is an in-house cafe (Cafe Creative) and a gift shop, stocking many science and educational products.

The centre went under a £2.1m renovation during the coronavirus pandemic. The centre reopened in 2021 with the aim to make it more accessible.
