Dobira (Arabic: دُومبِرَ بِنت دَغَالَ‎‎), also known as Dobira Dir or Dombira, was a Somali historical figure.

Dobira was the daughter of Dagale (Dikalla), the Dir clan chief. According to an official military survey conducted during the colonial period, Dir members are by tradition believed to be descended from a forefather named Dir. Dir is held to be the great grand-son of Ram Nag, an Arab migrant who landed in Zeila on the northwestern Somali coast.

During the 10th or 11th century CE, Dobira married Abdirahman bin Isma'il al-Jabarti (Darod), a son of the Sufi Sheikh Isma'il al-Jabarti of the Qadiriyyah order, who had settled in northern Somalia just across the Red Sea. The union is said to have given rise to the Darod clan family.

Dobira is buried just outside the ancient northern town of Haylaan, where Sheikh Darod's tomb is located.
