Dorothy Bush Koch, often called "Doro," (born August 18, 1959), is the daughter of the 41st President of the United States George H. W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush and the youngest sibling of George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States. Her other three siblings are Jeb Bush, Neil Bush, and Marvin Bush.

Since the time of her childhood, Dorothy has spent most summers and holidays at the Bush Compound, a sprawling estate in Kennebunkport, Maine.

In 1975, during a visit to Beijing, (it is said) Dorothy became the first person publicly baptized in China since its government began discouraging foreign religious practices in 1949.

Dorothy attended Miss Porter's School and earned a B.A. from Boston College in 1982. She has two children, Sam and Ellie, by her first husband, William LeBlond, and two children, Robert and Gigi, by her second husband, Robert P. Koch, whom she married in June 1992 at Camp David. Koch was a former aide to House Democratic leader Richard Gephardt.

She lives with her family in Bethesda, Maryland and works organizing events and raising money for charities and other non-profit organizations. She has also served as a Pioneer fundraiser for her brother's presidential campaigns.
