Doverdale is a small village and civil parish in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire, England. It lies to the west of Droitwich. At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 57. Since 1973 it has shared a grouped parish council with the neighbouring parish of Ombersley.
==History== Doverdale was historically a manor. It appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Lunvredele", when it was owned by Urse d'Abetot and formed part of the Cresslow hundred of Worcestershire. A priest and church were mentioned, suggesting it had already become a parish by that time. Cresslow hundred was subsequently merged into Halfshire hundred.
