The Doroumi Kōki (泥海古記) (lit.'Ancient Record of the Muddy Ocean') is a Tenrikyo religious text. The text consists of 160 waka poems about the Tenrikyo creation myth promulgated by Nakayama Miki, the founder of the Tenrikyo religion. It was compiled in 1881 by Yamazawa Ryōsuke (山沢良助; also known as Ryōjirō), one of Nakayama Miki's close followers, and is also known as the Meiji jūyo-nen wakatai-bon (明治十四年和歌体本) (lit.'Meiji 14 waka-format book').

Like the Ofudesaki and Mikagura-uta, the Doroumi Kōki is mostly written using hiragana rather than kanji.
