Dubois (/duːˌbɔɪs/, du-BOISS) is a city in Clark County, Idaho, United States. The population was 511 at the 2020 census. The city is the county seat of Clark County.[4]

The city was named in 1892 for Fred Dubois (1851−1930), a prominent politician in Idaho's early years.[5] He came to Idaho in 1880, later becoming the state's first U.S. Senator, serving two non-consecutive terms (1891−97, 1901−07).

Six miles (10 km) north of town is the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station, the county's second largest employer.[6] The station studies sheep breeds to support U.S. farmers. Dubois is near the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, which calls one of its administrative units the Dubois ranger district.[citation needed]
