Dorset Council is the Highway Authority for all roads in the Administrative County of Dorset, with the exception of Trunk roads managed by National Highways. It does not manage roads within some other authorities that also lie within historic Dorset such as Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council.

It currently administers the road network of the majority of the historic county of Dorset, as well as a small area of western Hampshire.

Following Statutory Instruments being made in May 2018, Dorset Council was created in April 2019, covering the area administered by the former Dorset County Council, less the area formerly managed at the second tier level by Christchurch District Council.
