Dorothy Dunlop (1929 – 16 October 2021) was a Northern Irish unionist politician, active in East Belfast.
She was born in Dublin in 1929, but her family moved to Belfast when she was just four, after her father, Gilbert Waterhouse, accepted the position of Professor of German at Queen's University.
She later completed a BA in English at Queen's, where she met and later married her husband, Samuel Dunlop.
[2] She was first elected as an Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) member of Belfast City Council in a by-election in 1975 for 'Area B' (the forerunner to the 'Victoria' electoral area).
On the moderate wing of the UUP, she was critical of the party's electoral pact with the DUP[4] and with Unionist demonstrations at Belfast's Saint Anne's Cathedral[5] against the Anglo-Irish Agreement.
