Dorothy Mueller (December 25, 1925 – June 2, 1985) was a pitcher who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League between the 1947 and 1953 seasons.

[1] A native of Cheviot, Ohio, Dorothy Mueller entered the AAGPBL in 1947 with the Peoria Redwings, playing for them until the 1948 season before joining the South Bend Blue Sox (1950-'52) and Grand Rapids Chicks.

She went 10–2 in 13 games, teaming up with Jean Faut (15-7) to give South Bend a strong one-two punch pitching combination in the league.

South Bend disposed of the Fort Wayne Daisies in the first round of the playoffs, two games to one, and later defeated the Rockford Peaches in the best-of-five-series to clinch the championship title.

In the league's championship playoff, Grand Rapids met the third-place Kalamazoo Lassies (56-50), surprise winners in three games over the pennant-winning Fort Wayne (66-39).
