Princess Dorothea of Saxony (7 January 1591 - 17 November 1617) reigned as Princess-Abbess of Quedlinburg from 1610 until her death.

[1] Dorothea was born in Dresden to Christian I, Elector of Saxony, and his wife, Princess Sophie of Brandenburg.

Vogt and patron of the abbey-principality at the time was Dorothea's brother, Christian II, Elector of Saxony.

She granted additional rights to the town of Quedlinburg and raised the income of preachers and teachers.

As she had not selected her coadjutrix, the chapter elected Duchess Dorothea Sophia of Saxe-Altenburg.
