Dorsa Sorby is a wrinkle ridge system at 19°00′N 14°00′E / 19.0°N 14.0°E / 19.0; 14.0 in southern Mare Serenitatis on the Moon. It is 76 km long and was named after British geologist Henry Clifton Sorby in 1976.[1]

Dorsa Sorby is parallel with the larger wrinkle ridge Dorsum Buckland.[2] It is also roughly in line with Rimae Sulpicius Gallus to the northwest and with Rimae Menelaus to the southeast.
