Arhopala dohertyi is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae.

It was described by George Thomas Bethune-Baker in 1903.

It is found in the Indomalayan realm where it is endemic to Celebes.

The specific name honours William Doherty.

[2] It is very similar to Arhopala aida on the under surface; but above deep violettish blue, the black marginal band is very broad, in the forewing as much as 4 mm, in the hindwing extending almost to the centre of the wing.
