Dungee Corner Meadow is a 5.1 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Bozeat in Northamptonshire.^[1][2]

This well drained hay meadow on boulder clay is traditionally managed, and no artificial fertilisers or herbicides have been used, so it has a diverse flora. More than twenty grass species have been recorded, including sweet vernal, Yorkshire fog, sheep's fescue, quaking grass and crested dog's-tail. There is also a population of the locally rare green-winged orchid.^[3]

The site is private land with no public access.
