Dorothy Cullman (February 18, 1918 – April 6, 2009) was an American television producer and philanthropist. She and her husband, Lewis B. Cullman (January 26, 1919 – June 7, 2019),[1] contributed a combined $250 million to numerous organizations over forty years. She served on the boards of several arts-related organizations, and produced several television programs which were broadcast on WNET.

In 2006 the Museum of Modern Art in New York named a building after them: The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building.[2]
