The dodrans was an Ancient Roman bronze coin produced during the Roman Republic.

The dodrans, valued at three-fourth of an as (9 unciae), was produced only twice:

• in 126 BC by C. Cassius in combination with the bes, another very rare denomination which was valued at three-fourths of an as.
• in the 2nd century BC by M. Caecilius Metellus Q. f. in combination with a denarius and others Æ coins: Semis, Triens, Quadrans. Metellus may be Marcus Caecilius Metellus, consul 115 BC.
