Dorothea ('Dorrie') Parker is a former New Zealand sprinter. Known as Dorrie, her name was M. Dorothea Parker, later Smith.

At the 1950 British Empire Games she won the silver medal in the women's 440 yards relay alongside Shirley Hardman and Lesley Rowe.^[1] Clark says she was overlooked for the 1954 British Empire Games at Vancouver, and that the games results indicate she could have been a finalist.

Her brother Clem Parker also won a medal at the 1950 British Empire Games.
