Auvergne Mary Doherty (3 October 1896 – 3 January 1961) was an Australian businesswoman, working in her family's cattle business.

[2][3] Despite gaining admission to Middle Temple, Auvergne did not go on to practise law most likely due to her family's declining financial circumstances.

Before returning to Western Australia in 1930, with her father Denis Doherty and sister, Dorothy, Auvergne held a secretarial role at the British Drama League.

[10] Auvergne Doherty was among the first cohort of women called to the Bar, along with Theodora Llewellyn-Davis, Helena Normanton, Monica Geikie Cobb, Ethel Bright Ashford, Elsie Wheeler, Beatrice Davy, Sybil Campbell and Dr Ivy Williams.

Doherty was not the first Australian woman to enter the legal profession; this title went to Flos Greig, who was admitted in August 1905.

Her call and admission were widely reported in British and Australian newspapers at the time but she is not considered Perth's first woman lawyer.

[14] Charlotte Coleman, PhD Candidate at St Mary's University, argues that Auvergne could not practise because of her family's declining financial circumstances and argues that Doherty’s biography is important because it evidences how vital it was to have the necessary financial means and networks to be able to forget a career at the Bar.
