Dorrie Nossiter (29 June 1893—1977) was a British jewellery designer from Aston, near Birmingham.

Nossiter crafted precious jewellery in the English Arts and Crafts Tradition in both sterling silver and gold. Her work is known for her use of colour and floral and curvature lines using gemstones in motifs.

Nossiter was educated at the Municipal School of Art in Birmingham from 1910 to 1914. Nossiter married Ernest Guy Robinson in 1922. By 1935 she was living in London where her work was shown in the "Art by Four Women" exhibition at Walker’s Gallery, London. Nossiter would go on to exhibit there from 1935 to 1939.
