James Clement Dooge (born 30 July 1922 (1922-07-30) (age 85)) is an Irish politician, engineer and academic.

James Dooge was born in Birkenhead, England on 30 July 1922. He was educated in Liverpool, University College Dublin and University of Iowa, and qualified as an engineer. In 1942 he obtained a job with the Office of Public Works and in 1946 he began working with the Electricity Supply Board. Between 1954 and 1956 he was research associate at the Department of Civil Engineering at University of Iowa. In 1958 Dooge became Professor of Civil Engineering at University College Cork. In 1970 he became a Professor at University College Dublin. Between 1984 and 1987 Dooge worked at the Department of Engineering Hydrology at University College, Galway. Since 1988 he has worked at University College Dublin at the Centre for Water Resources Research.

As well as having a distinguished career as an academic, Dooge has led a very active political life. From 1961 to 1977 Dooge was a Senator in Seanad Éireann, serving as its Cathaoirleach (chairman) from 1973 to 1977. He was a member of the Presidential Commission (acting head of state) from November 17, 1974 to December 18, 1974 and from October 22, 1976 to December 2, 1976. Dooge worked closely with his cousin Garret FitzGerald during the late 1970's in re-organising the Fine Gael party. In 1981 he was appointed by FitzGerald Minister for Foreign Affairs in the short-lived Fine Gael government. Between 1981 and 1987 Dooge returned to Seanad Éireann.
