The Dakshina Kannada District Ex-Servicemen's Association, frequently referred to as the DK Zilla Ex-Servicemen Association, is a prominent community organization based in Mangaluru, Karnataka.

The association is dedicated to the welfare, resettlement and dignity of military veterans, “वीर नारी” (veteran's widows), and their dependents.
