Wilfred Robert Dovey QC (10 April 1894 – 12 December 1969) was an Australian barrister and judge. He served on the Supreme Court of New South Wales from 1953 to 1964. He was described as colourful, slightly eccentric and irascible, although he had a brilliant legal mind and a Shakespearean vocabulary. His daughter Margaret married the future Prime Minister of Australia Gough Whitlam.
