Dorotea Municipality ({{Langx|sv|Dorotea kommun}}; {{langx|sma|Kraapohken tjïelte}}) is a municipality in Västerbotten County in northern Sweden. Its seat is located in Dorotea.

When the first local government acts were implemented in Sweden in 1863 Dorotea parish was made a rural municipality. In 1974 it was merged into Åsele Municipality. Already in 1980 it was split off, forming a new Dorotea Municipality. In 2023 it became the least populated municipality of Sweden.{{cite web|url=https://www.scb.se/pressmeddelande/dorotea-minst-igen--och-malmo-passerar-360-000-invanare/|title=Dorotea minst igen och Malmö passerar 360,000 invånare|publisher=SCB|language=sv|date=8 September 2023|access-date=30 December 2023}}
