Dorothy Christine Kotz (born 3 January 1944) is a former Australian politician who had been the sitting Liberal member for the electoral district of Newland of the South Australian House of Assembly from 1989 until her retirement in 2006.

Kotz held many portfolios over her career, including Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education, Minister for Youth Affairs, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Environment and Heritage, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Local Government, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing, Minister for Administrative and Information Services, and has also been a Member of the Executive Council

The 2006 election saw her personal vote evaporate, and with the state-wide ALP swing, saw her successor Mark Osterstock suffer a swing of 12.5% against the Liberal Party, giving the seat to the ALP on a margin of 6.8%.
