Dubravlag or Dubravny Camp Directorate (Дубравлаг, also Дубравный лагерь, Особый лагерь № 3, Особлаг № 3, Дубравный ИТЛ) was part of the Soviet system of Gulag labor camps, as well as part of the post-Gulag Soviet penitentiary system.

It was organized in 1948 as Gulag special camp No. 3 for political prisoners by merging Temlag (Temnikovsky ITL) and Temnikovsky child colony and headquartered at Yavas, Mordovian ASSR. In 1954 it was reorganized into a regular corrective labor camp (ITL).
