Dovrat (Hebrew: דָּבְרַת‎‎) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located near Afula, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 282.

The kibbutz was established on 30 October 1946 by the Zara'im kvutza, which was largely composed of immigrants from Austria and Germany who had arrived before the start of World War II. The group had congregated in Ein Harod in 1942 in order to prepare for establishing a new village. The new kibbutz was named after the Levite city which was located in the area belonging to the Tribe of Issachar (Joshua 21:28).

In 1947 some land nearby was purchased by the Jewish National Fund. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War the kibbutz was moved to the new site, initially known as Dovrat Illit (Upper Dovrat).
