Axes are a recurring family of weapons in the Dragon Quest series. Though typically depicted in official artwork as the weapon of choices for Warriors and other melee-oriented characters, their actual presence in the series has been relatively scarce until the release of Dragon Quest VIII.

Unlike swords and spears, axes have been featureless weapons with no additional benefits complimenting their strength since the original game, with the sole exception of the Headsman's axe. As with several other armament types, this would change with the development of Dragon Quest IX, which features many hatchets with additional effects.
