Dore Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey in the village of Abbey Dore in the Golden Valley, Herefordshire, England. A large part of the original medieval building has been used since the 16th century as the parish church, with remaining parts either now ruined or no longer extant.

Dore Abbey was the burial place of John Scudamore, 1st Viscount Scudamore, (1601-1671). He and his descendants were prominent in Herefordshire for several centuries. The Scudamores are mentioned as patrons of churches and providers of charities in various parishes in the vicinity of Abbey Dore. (See quotations from A Vision of Britain through Time.)
