Daurentius () or Dauritas () was a Slavic (Sclaveni) chieftain in the 6th century. He seems to have been the supreme chief of a Slavic tribal confederation, which "fellow chiefs" were either subordinated to him or of a similar tribal rank and status as Daurentius.
==Etymology== Linguists consider that the original Slavic form of the name was Dobręta, which was rendered via the Greek pronunciation and transcription of "β=ν".
