Daisy Dormer (16 January 1883 – 13 September 1947) was an English music hall singer.
Dormer was born Kezia Beatrice Stockwell on 16 January 1883 in Southsea to Mary and Henry John Stockwell. She married Albert Jee.
A pretty, waif-like presence, Dormer sang "After the Ball is Over" among other songs. "After the Ball is Over", which was written by Charles K. Harris, helped to establish Tin Pan Alley in the 1890s. The sheet music sold over five million copies in the 1890s.
Dormer died on 13 September 1947 in Wandsworth, London. She was cremated at Streatham Park Cemetery.
