Kim Dolan (born Kim McLeod, April 12, 1958, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island) is a Canadian curler.

Dolan first appeared on the national curling scene in 1983, winning her first provincial championship and representing Prince Edward Island at the 1983 Scott Tournament of Hearts, where her team finished with a 4–6 round robin record. She returned to the Scott Tournament of Hearts in 1985 (4–6 record), 1987 (1–10 record), 1990 (4–7 record), and 1992 (4–7 record).

In 1995, playing third for skip Rebecca Jean MacPhee, Dolan reached the playoffs at the Scott Tournament of Hearts for the first time, finishing the round robin with an 8–3 record before losing the 3–4 game to Alberta's Cathy Borst. She returned in 1997 (5–6 record) and 1999 (6–5 record) playing third for MacPhee.

In 2002, Dolan served as fifth player for Kathy O'Rourke's team, which finished 3–8. In 2004, she won the Provincial Mixed Curling Championships and competed at the 2005 Canadian Mixed Curling Championships (3–8 record). She returned to the Scotties in 2005 as fifth for MacPhee (4–7 record), and in 2008 as coach and fifth for Suzanne Gaudet's team (3–8 record).

At the 2012 Prince Edward Island Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Dolan won her ninth provincial championship, defeating defending champion Suzanne Birt, Sarah Fullerton, and Meaghan Hughes. This win was historic as Dolan and her daughter Sinead Dolan became the first mother-daughter duo to win a provincial women's curling championship together in Prince Edward Island. At the 2012 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Dolan played her 100th career game at the national championship, defeating New Brunswick's Rebecca Atkinson 11–4 in her final draw, and finished with a 3–8 record.

Over her career, Dolan made 13 appearances at the Scott Tournament of Hearts / Scotties Tournament of Hearts (1983, 1985, 1987, 1990, 1992, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2012, 2014). She curled out of the Charlottetown Curling Club in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
