Delores Maria Etter (née Van Camp September 25, 1947 in Denver, Colorado) was United States Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Science and Technology from 1998 to 2001 and Assistant Secretary of the Navy for research, science, and technology from 2005 to 2007.
Delores M. Etter attended the Oklahoma State University–Stillwater and the University of Texas at Arlington before going on to receive two degrees from Wright State University (B.S. in Mathematics, 1970; M.S. in Mathematics, 1972).

Upon receiving her Ph.D., Etter joined the faculty of the University of New Mexico's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. As a professor, Etter's research interests focused on adaptive signal processing; speech recognition; digital filter design; and software engineering. She would ultimately author several well-known textbooks on software engineering and computer languages. While a faculty member at the University of New Mexico, she served as Associate Chair of her department 1987-89, and as the university's Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs in 1989. She also spent two summers working at Sandia National Laboratories (where her work focused on seismic signal processing) and was the National Science Foundation Visiting Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department at Stanford University for the 1983-84 academic year. A member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Etter served as President of the IEEE Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing Society from 1988-1989, and was Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing from 1993-1995.
