Dodge Roll (ドッジロール Dojji Rōru) is a technique introduced in Kingdom Hearts. 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.

In Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Dodge Roll is a movement command that is triggered by moving the circle pad and pressing ( in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD), though the button can be tapped without a direction if a Block-type command is not equipped.
