Rashid Shafi Al-Dosari (born 8 May 1981) is a Qatari track and field athlete who competes in the discus throw. He has represented Qatar at the Summer Olympics on two occasions, making his debut in 2000 and reaching the final at the 2008 Summer Olympics. He was also a finalist at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics.
Al-Dosari has been successful at the continental level, beginning with two Asian Junior titles, a gold medal at the 2002 Asian Athletics Championships and a silver in 2007. In other competitions, he was the bronze medallist at the 2007 Military World Games and has won medals at regional competitions including the Pan Arab Games, West Asian Games and Pan Arab Championships. His personal best of 64.43 metres is a former Qatari record.
He started his international career at a young age, winning his first discus title at the age of fifteen at the 1996 Asian Junior Athletics Championships. He won at the Pan Arab Junior Championships two years later and made his global level debut at the 1998 World Junior Championships in Athletics, where he was eighth overall. Al-Dosari was one of the most promising Qatari athletes to emerge at the time, as the small nation was not renowned for producing track and field athletes. He retained his Asian Junior title the following year and also won his first senior titles, with gold medals at the Pan Arab Championships and 1999 Pan Arab Games.
