{{nihongo|'''Dodge Roll'''|ドッジロール|Dojji Rōru}} is a technique introduced in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It allows the user to execute a forward roll, during which they are invulnerable to enemy attacks. Leveling up increases the distance covered by the roll. 

==Mechanics==
[[File:Dodge Roll KHII.gif|250px|right|thumb]]
In ''Kingdom Hearts'', Dodge Roll is a [[combat ability]] used by [[Sora]]. It is executed by pressing {{button|s}} and pushing the left analog stick in any direction, though {{button|s}} can be tapped without a direction if [[Guard]] is not equipped. It costs 1 {{AP}} to equip.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', Dodge Roll is an innate movement ability that is executed by double-tapping the control pad in a direction during battle. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', it is executed by pressing {{button|s}}.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Dodge Roll is a [[Reaction Command]].

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Dodge Roll is also a [[growth ability]] that costs 3 {{AP}} to equip. It allows Sora to perform a combat roll by pressing {{button|s}}. Leveling it up increases the distance of the roll. If [[Guard]] is equipped, Dodge Roll can only be executed by also tilting the left analog stick, and if [[Quick Run]] is equipped, it can only be executed by quickly tapping {{button|s}}.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', Dodge Roll is an [[ability panel]] that can be leveled up from '''Dodge Roll LV1''' to '''Dodge Roll LV2''' and '''Dodge Roll LV3''' by linking {{nihongo|'''Dodge Roll LV+ Ⓛ'''|ドッジアップⓁ|Dojji Appu Ⓛ|lit. "Dodge Up Ⓛ"}} panels, increasing invincibility time, rolling distance, and speed. It is triggered by pressing {{button|dsy}} and a direction on the control pad.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', Dodge Roll is a {{c|movement command|BBS}} exclusive to [[Ventus]]. It is activated by pressing {{button|s}} and a direction on the left analog stick, though {{button|s}} can be tapped without a direction if a [[Block]]-type command is not equipped. It has a maximum level of 4.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'', Dodge Roll is a [[Bonus Booster]] ability that can be leveled up from '''Dodge Roll Lv.1''' to '''Dodge Roll Lv.2'''. It is triggered by pressing {{button|dsy}} and holding a direction on the control pad, though {{button|dsy}} can be tapped without a direction if a [[Block]]-type command is not equipped.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', Dodge Roll is a {{c|movement command|DDD}} that is triggered by moving the circle pad and pressing {{button|dsy}}, though {{button|dsy}} can be tapped without a direction if a [[Block]]-type command is not equipped. It can be used to initiate [[Flowmotion]].
