Dong ili Dun (kineski: 侗族 pinyin: Dòngzú; vlastito ime: Gaeml, u IPA [kɐm]) je naziv za etničku grupu. Oni tvore jednu od 56 etničkih grupa službeno priznate od strane kineske vlade te su cijenjeni po svojim tesarskim vještinama i jedinstvenoj arhitekturi, posebno u obliku pokrivenih mostova poznatih kao "mostovi vjetra i kiše" (kineski: 风雨桥). Njihova kuhinja se uglavnom sastoji od zasoljene hrane i riže.
Žive uglavnom u kineskim provincijama Guizhou, Hunan i Guangxi.
Dong jezik (vlastito ime: leec Gaeml) je jezik iz Tai-Kadai (ili Zhuang-Dong) grupe jezika .[1] Kada se dopisuju, Dong ponekad koriste kineske znakove kako bi izrazili Dong riječi. Nova ortografija temeljena na latinici je razvijena 1958. godine, ali se malo koristi, što zbog nedostatka štampanog materijala, što zbog nedostatka nastavnog kadra.
Ethnologue razlikuje dva Dong dijalekta sa kodovima kmc for the southern dialect and doc for the northern.
