Dorabjee Naorojee Mithaiwala (sometimes written 'Nowrojee') was an Indian businessman of Parsi descent in Hong Kong.

He first arrived in Hong Kong in 1852 as a stowaway aboard a ship from Bombay bound for China and was a cook.

The company was renamed in 1898 to Star Ferry, which today transports passengers throughout Hong Kong.

His son Dhunjeebhoy Dorabjee Naorojee ran the hotel after his father returned to India and until his death in 1911.

Mithaiwala retired from his businesses in Hong Kong and returned to India.
