Dorothea Baird (20 May 1875 - 24 September 1933) was an English stage and motion pictures actress, and the daughter of Sir John Forster Baird, a prominent English barrister-at-law.
Her first stage appearance was with the Oxford University Dramatic Society in February 1894, when she played Iris in The Tempest. She went on to appear in a number of distinguished Shakespeare plays with her husband, H. B. Irving. In 1913 she retired from the stage and involved herself in charitable causes, especially with infant welfare.
