Dorothy Christ (born September 9, 1925) is a former backup outfielder who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She batted and threw right handed.[1]

Born in La Porte, Indiana, Christ was assigned to the South Bend Blue Sox during its 1948 season.[1] She appeared in one game and went hitless in one at-bat.[2]

After baseball, Christ moved to Mishawaka, Indiana.[2]

The AAGPBL folded in 1954, but there is a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York since November 5, 1988, that honors the entire league rather than any individual figure.[3]
