The 19-year-old has put pen-to-paper on a new three-and-a-half year deal, keeping him at Goodison Park until June 2025.
The youngster has rapidly progressed through the youth sides in recent years and has been a regular feature in Premier League squads throughout the 2021/22 season so far.
Speaking to evertontv, Dobbin remarked: "It's a huge honour that the club has put their faith in me with this new deal.

Dobbin made his Premier League debut in September 2021 as he came off the bench in Everton's win over Norwich City at Goodison Park.
Appearances at both Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge in battling 1-1 draws have followed for the exciting youngster, with supporters desperate to see more from him.
And he has revealed that their messages have not gone unnoticed.
"My Twitter and Instagram comments have been full of people wanting me to sign a new contract," he added.
"It gives me confidence that they want to see more from me. I want to give back to them and do well for them in the future.
"There are a variety of different forwards here. They are always talking to me when we are doing finishing drills and walkthroughs on team shape.
"They pass on little pieces of advice, which is very helpful. I want to take that on board and improve myself.
"I just want to work hard, play more games, score goals and make the fans happy."
