Landover is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Prince George's County, Maryland, inside the Capital Beltway just east of Washington, D.C.

The community was named after the town of Llandovery in Wales.

For the 2000 census, the U.S. Census Bureau consolidated the former CDPs of Landover, Dodge Park, Kentland, and Palmer Park into a single Greater Landover CDP, and the area was renamed simply Landover for the 2010 census.

The population of Landover was 25,998 at the 2020 census, up from 23,078 in 2010 and 22,900 in 2000.

The 2020 census counted 8,769 households and 9,327 housing units in Landover, and every resident of the 4.0-square-mile CDP lives in an urban area.

The median age in Landover in 2020 was 33.5 years, and 27.3 percent of residents were under age 18.

Landover is served by two Washington Metro stations: Landover station on the Orange Line and Morgan Boulevard station, opened in 2004 on the Blue and Silver lines.

The Washington Commanders' Northwest Stadium, opened in 1997 as FedEx Field, stands just across the CDP boundary in Summerfield but carries a Landover postal address.

Landover was previously home to the Capital Centre arena, where the Washington Wizards and Washington Capitals played before moving to downtown Washington; the arena was demolished in 2002.

Landover Mall, which opened in 1972 at the Capital Beltway and Landover Road, was the Washington area's first enclosed mall built with four high-end anchor stores; it closed in 2003 and was demolished in 2006.
