Mildred Alice Doran (10 May 1905 – 16 August 1927) was a Canadian aviation enthusiast who was the only woman to enter the Dole Air Race in 1927, created to be the first to fly from California to Hawaii.

A local businessman and owner of the Lincoln Petroleum Company, William Malloska, heard about her and paid for her to attend a teacher's course at Michigan State Normal School.

[8] Doran convinced Malloska to enter an airplane in the Dole Air Race and to allow her to fly along.

[11][6][12] Despite engine trouble early in the race, and attempts by the crew and crowd to get her to remain behind, Doran stayed with the plane.

Ontario, Canada named a lake in her honour and Doran Tower was put up beside Lincoln Field in Flint.
