Dokki (Arabic: الدقي  pronounced [ed.ˈdoʔ.ʔi], is a district in Giza city, which is part of Greater Cairo, in Egypt. Dokki is situated on the western bank of the Nile, directly across from Downtown Cairo. It is a vital residential and commercial district with major roads connecting the two parts of the Greater Cairo (Cairo and Giza).

Another theory about its name is that the name originated from the Dokki family, which inhabited this region since ancient times and came to it from Upper Egypt and concentrated in it, then soon moved to the countryside in Menoufia.

Many Cairene landmarks are located in Dokki, the German school Deutsche Evangelische Oberschule Kairo (DEO)^[1] and the embassies of many countries including Russia, Somalia, France, Chad, the Czech Republic, Pakistan, and Ethiopia.
