Dorothy Dearing (April 17, 1913 – April 19, 1965) was an American actress. She is best known for appearing in Up the River (1938), Free, Blonde and 21 (1940) and The Great Profile (1940).
Dearing was born in Parachute, Colorado, after which she and her family moved to Denver. They lived there for two years before moving to Alhambra, California, in 1923. She attended high school in Alhambra and then studied at Pasadena Junior College. College dramatics diverted her career plans from her original desire to become a lawyer. She worked as a secretary before she became an actress.
Dearing married actor Roland Drew in 1946, and they had one child.
She died in Beverly Hills, California. She is interred with her husband in Angeles Abbey Memorial Park, Compton, California.
