Pigeon Forge is a city in Sevier County, Tennessee, United States. As of the 2025, the population was 6,598. Situated in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, the city is a well-known tourist destination and hosts more than a dozen amusement, museum, and music-related attractions.

The area was originally inhabited by the Cherokee. European-American settlement began in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The city derives its name from an iron forge built along the Little Pigeon River by Isaac Love in 1817. Love's son, William, established a post office in 1841 and named it Pigeon Forge, combining the forge with the passenger pigeons that were once abundant along the river. Pigeon Forge was incorporated as a city in 1961.

Pigeon Forge lies along U.S. Route 441 (the Parkway), which connects Sevierville to the north with Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to the south. The city covers approximately 13.82 square miles (35.8 km²). The Little Pigeon River flows through the city.

The city's most prominent attraction is Dollywood, a theme park co-owned by entertainer Dolly Parton, who was born in nearby Locust Ridge. The park opened under its current name in 1986, having previously operated as Rebel Railroad, Goldrush Junction, and Silver Dollar City Tennessee. Adjacent to Dollywood is Dollywood's Splash Country, a water park. Other attractions include The Island in Pigeon Forge entertainment complex, the Titanic Museum, and numerous dinner theaters such as Dolly Parton's Stampede.

Tourism is the dominant industry. Pigeon Forge receives millions of visitors annually, drawn by its proximity to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited national park in the United States. The city operates under a city manager–commission form of government.
