The Ganale Dorya River (also transliterated as Denale Dorya) is a perennial river in southeastern Ethiopia. Rising in the mountains east of Aleta Wendo, the Dawa flows south and east to join with the Dawa at the border with Somalia to become the Jubba. Tributaries include the Gestro, Welmel, Dumale, Doya, Hawas and the Hambala. The Del Verme Falls is a notable feature of its middle course.

The Genale Dorya is historically important because it served as the boundary between Sidamo and Bale Provinces. The Battle of Genale Doria was fought to the south of its course.
