'''Doire''' ({{IPA|fr|dwaʁ|-|LL-Q150 (fra)-Jérémy-Günther-Heinz Jähnick-Doire.wav}}) was a [[Departments of France|department]] of the [[French First Republic]] and of the [[First French Empire]] in present-day [[Italy]]. It was named after the river [[Dora Baltea]] (''Doire Baltée''). It was formed in 1802, when the [[Subalpine Republic]] (formerly the mainland portion of the [[Kingdom of Sardinia]]) was directly annexed to France. Its capital was [[Ivrea]] (''Ivrée'').

The department was disbanded after the defeat of Napoleon in 1814. At the [[Congress of Vienna]], the [[Savoy dynasty|Savoyard]] [[King of Sardinia]] was restored in all his previous realms and domains, including [[Piedmont]]. Its territory is now divided between the [[Italian province]] of [[province of Turin|Turin]] and the autonomous [[Aosta Valley]] region.
