Dushinkovo is a village in Dzhebel Municipality, Kardzhali Province, southern Bulgaria.[1]

The village of Dushinkovo has 104 inhabitants (2011 census). All inhabitants are ethnic Turks and are Muslim by religion. It had a much larger population (around 600 people) in the 1980s, but most inhabitants emigrated because of the assimilation policy towards ethnic Turks during Communist rule.
