Mountain Dale is an unincorporated community in southeastern Webster County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] The community is located on Missouri Route C about 2.5 miles north of Seymour and just south of the James River headwaters. The Mountain Dale cemetery lies about one quarter mile to the west.[2] Owen Field airstrip and the community of Waldo lies about three-quarters of a mile to the east along Missouri Route V.[3]

The community took its name from a defunct school of the same name which was near a mountain and a dale, hence the name.[4]
