Dispur (/dɪsˈpʊər/, Assamese: [ˈdispuɹ] ^ⓘ) is the capital of the Indian state of Assam and is a suburb of Guwahati.

It became the capital in 1973, when Shillong the erstwhile capital, became the capital of the state of Meghalaya that was carved out of Assam.

Dispur was a small village when it was made the capital of Assam. People from different parts of Assam migrated and settled in and around Dispur, quickly converting the rural area into a densely populated zone. As the year progressed, the city of Guwahati expanded, Dispur was integrated into the Greater Guwahati city.

Dispur is the seat of power of Government of Assam. The Assam Secretariat (Janata Bhawan) building is located in Dispur along with the Assam Legislative Assembly House, MLA Hostels and the State Emergency Operations Centre. The Assam Trunk road and the G S road pass through Dispur. To the south of Dispur lies the theologically important site of Basistha Ashram and the Shankardev Kalakshetra, a cultural centre created in the 1990s. Next to Dispur is the township of Jatia.

The Guwahati Tea Auction Centre, one of the busiest tea trading facilities in the world, is located in the city.
