Dividend is an extinct town in southwest Utah County, Utah, United States. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place.[1]

A post office called Dividend was established in 1922, and remained in operation until 1951.[2] The community was so named in the expectation a nearby mine would pay dividends. By 1922, over one million dollars had been paid in dividends.[3]
