Dorrance Wilhelm Funk[2] (May 4, 1919 – June 3, 1973) was an American professional wrestler.

After Dory Jr. won the NWA Heavyweight championship in 1969, he was at ringside for many of his son's title defences.

Funk began promoting Western States Sports with Doc Sarpolis in Amarillo, Texas, where he led a thriving wrestling scene that produced many stars, including his sons Dory Funk Jr. and Terry Funk, as well as Stan Hansen, Harley Race, Gene Kiniski, Tully Blanchard, Ted DiBiase, Tito Santana, Bruiser Brody, Ricky Romero, Jumbo Tsuruta, and Genichiro Tenryu.

Funk was also heavily involved with the Cal Farley Boys Ranch in Amarillo.

Funk died at St. Anthony's Hospital after suffering a heart attack on June 3, 1973, at the age of 54, while demonstrating a wrestling hold at his home to a visitor at his Flying Mare Ranch in Umbarger, Texas.
