Dushanbe Zoo or Dushanbe Zoological Park (Russian: Душанбинский зоопарк; Tajik: Боғи Ҳайвоноти Душанбе, romanized: Boği Hayvonoti Dushanbe) was founded in 1960 in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. The zoo is located in the center of the city on the Luchob river bank (on Ismoili Somoni Avenue), next to the Pamir Stadium, and measures roughly twice the size of the stadium.
