Dartmoor er en nationalpark i Devon i England med et areal på 953 km².
Området består af et moselandskab med flere hundrede granittoppe, kendt som tors. Det højeste punkt er High Willhays 621 meter over havets overflade. Der er mange fortidsminder i området blandt andet Grimspound fra bronzealderen og Postbridge fra 1200-tallet.
Dele af Dartmoor har været militær skydebane i mere end 200 år. Resten af nationalparken er åben for offentligheden, og området tiltrækker mange turister.
Dartmoor dannede kulisse om sir Arthur Conan Doyles bog Baskervilles Hund.

This cross is known as both Nun's Cross (possibly from the Cornu-Celtic Nans meaning valley or ravine) & Siward's Cross (possibly in connection with Siward, Earl of Nothumberland at the time of Edward the Confessor). It may well be late Saxon or early medieval in origin. It may well have been used as a marker for the track from the monastery at Buckfast to the monastery at Tavistock. It is close to Nun's Cross Farm on South Dartmoor.
