Dorothy DeLay (March 31, 1917 in Kansas – March 24, 2002 in New York) was a violin instructor at the Juilliard School. She also taught at Sarah Lawrence College, the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and the New England Conservatory, among others. She started as an assistant to the great Russian teacher, Ivan Galamian, but later established her own distinguished reputation as a violin teacher. Her pedagogy is considered revolutionary, and she is generally regarded as the most influential American violin teacher of the 20th century.

Her former students include many of the top violinists of the late 20th century, including Itzhak Perlman, Midori Goto, Sarah Chang, Cho-Liang Lin, Nadja Solerno-Sonnenberg, Nigel Kennedy, Mark Kaplan, Shlomo Mintz, Gil Shaham, Bruce Dukov, Patinka Kopec, Robert McDuffie, and William Fitzpatrick. She also taught many significant orchestral musicians and pedagogues, such as Simon Fischer, author of Basics, Chicago Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Robert Chen, and Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster David Kim.
