Dorothy Paul (born 1937 as Dorothy Pollock) is a Scottish stage and screen actress, comedian, and entertainer. She performed onstage often at the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow.

Originating from the Dennistoun area of Glasgow, she started her main career in the late 1960s, with her first credited roles in television shows such as The Revenue Men, Sutherland's Law and Garnock Way. She also featured in the 2005 film Festival, playing Micheline's Mother. After many successful years with various stage performances, including Dorothy Paul: Live, she had made guest appearances in Still Game and Taggart.

In December 1988, Paul starred as Magrit in the television adaptation of the play The Steamie, written by Tony Roper. In the show, she featured alongside fellow cast members Eileen McCallum, Katy Murphy and Peter Mullan. Paul received a BAFTA nomination for her performance, and the adaptation is generally favoured as one of Scotland's most loved television broadcasts.

Her role in The Steamie featured the famous "Isn't it wonderful to be a woman?" speech, in which Paul delivers an explanation about the life of a woman during that era.

"Isn't it wonderful to be a woman? You get up at the crack of dawn, you get the breakfast ready, you get the weans ready and oot the hoose looking as respectable as you can afford and you wash the dishes, finish the ironing, maybe give the floor a skite over, and then you're away to yer ain wee job, maybe cleaning offices or serving in a shop or washing stairs. You finish your work and back in your hoose to mair work. What are we? We're skivvies. Unpaid skivvies."
