Dori of Yejju (died 1831) was a Ras of Begemder and Inderase (regent) of the Emperor of Ethiopia. He was the brother of his predecessor Marye of Yejju.

Ras Dori died of illness soon after he took office in Debre Tabor.[1] His only significant act was to depose Emperor Gigar on 18 June, and replace him with Iyasus IV.
