The Dundee derby is the title given to any football match contested between Dundee and Dundee United, the two professional football clubs in the city of Dundee, Scotland. The first competitive fixture between the sides was held at Dens Park in the 1917–18 season.
Due to Dundee's smaller population and size, especially in comparison to the Edinburgh derby and Glasgow's Old Firm, it is considered a friendlier rivalry; families are split in terms of the club they support, and both groups of fans are known to socialise on match days. It is also a notable derby geographically, as both clubs are located just 183 metres apart, making them the closest city rivals in Britain and one of the closest city rivals in world football.
