Dovška Baba (1,891 m), (German: Frauenkogel), also sometimes known as Dovška Rožca although this actually refers to a pasture some 200 m below the summit, is a peak in the Western Karawanken Alps. It lies on the border between Slovenia and Austria, above the village of Dovje. It is known as an ideal peak for ski touring.

The German and Slovene names are etymologically related: "Frauenkogel" means "Woman's Peak," while "Dovška Baba" means "Woman of Dovje." ("Dovška Rožca" means "Little Flower of Dovje.")
