Dongelberg (Walloon: Dongbiè) is a village of Wallonia and a district of the municipality of Jodoigne, located in the province of Walloon Brabant, Belgium.

The name means dark mountain.

Dongelberg appears as Donglebert in a text dated 1079 and Dungelberge in the 12th century. In the Middle Ages the settlement was a fief of several families, including the Dongelberg family until 1305, before falling entirely under the control of  [fr], the half brother of John II, Duke of Brabant. It was an independent municipality until 1977, when it was placed within Jodoigne as part of the fusion of the Belgian municipalities.
