The male version is "Sir".
As pointed out, it is for a woman who has been knighted (in her own right), however a woman who is married to a Knight is not a "Dame" but a "Lady"

Dame is the female equivalent of address to Sir for a British knighthood. In the UK honours system, this can be the title of a woman who has been awarded the Order of the Bath, Order of St Michael and St George, Royal Victorian Order, or Order of the British Empire.

The title of Dame was first created in 1917 for the new Order of the British Empire. It is the fmale equivalent of 'Sir', except in the two highest orders of knighthood, the Garter and the Thistle, where lady members are called 'Lady', eg: Lady Marion Fraser.
Martin K is wrong; the female equivalent of Duke is Duchess.

male knight address would be Sir

Sir and Dame
Lord and Lady
Isn't a dame a knighted woman? I'm sure there is a different word for knighting a woman......but I don't think it matters any more.
