Douce I (also Dulcia or Dolça) of Provence was Countess of Provence (in her own right) between 1112 and 1127. Her parents were Gilbert I of Gévaudan and Gerberga, Countess of Provence. In 1112, she inherited the County of Provence through her mother.
She married Ramon Berenguer at Arles on 3 February 1112. In 1113, Douce ceded her rights in Provence, Gévaudan, and the Viscounty of Millau to her husband.
The marriage gave the House of Barcelona extensive interests in Occitania and put it in conflict with the Counts of Toulouse, with whom a partition of Provence was signed in 1125, shortly before Douce's death.
Her children with Ramon Berenguer were:
Almodis, married Ponce de Cervera
Berenguela (1116–1149), married Alfonso VII of Castile
Ramon Berenguer (1113–1162), Count of Barcelona
Berenguer Ramon (c. 1115–1144), Count of Provence
Bernard, died young.
