Dorothy "Dottie" Schroeder (April 11, 1928 – December 8, 1996) was an American shortstop who played from 1943 through 1954 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

After the league folded in 1954, she played four more years on a touring team of 11 All-Americans piloted by Bill Allington across Canada and United States.

She personified the family background, values, dreams and aspirations that the AAGPLB founders attempted to cultivate, so that her parents insisted on close supervision before permitting her to join the new league.

Schroeder entered the league in 1943 with the South Bend Blue Sox, playing for them two and a half years before joining the Kenosha Comets (1945-'47), Fort Wayne Daisies (1947-'52) and Kalamazoo Lassies (1953-'54).

Failing to hit .200 in each of her first six seasons and totalling four home runs in that time, she became a fine hitter with power in her later years after the league switched to overhand pitching.

In that season, she was part of a Lassies All-Star slick infield that included June Peppas at first base, Nancy Mudge at second, and Fern Shollenberger at third.

She lived the rest of her life in her home town of Champaign, working for Collegiate Cap & Gown Company for 36 years until retiring in 1993.
