Dun-les-Places (French pronunciation: [dœ̃ le plas]) is a commune in the Nièvre department in central France. It is within Morvan Regional Natural Park, on the departmental border with Yonne.
The village is historically significant as one of the "martyred villages" of the Liberation in 1944; the occupying forces killed 27 inhabitants before their retreat to Germany, making it the worst World War II massacre in Burgundy.
