A dobby loom is one in which each harness can be manipulated individually. This is in contrast to a treadle loom, where the harnesses are attatched to a number of different treadles depending on the weave structure.

Dobby looms allow a variety of complex weave structures on one threading. The harnesses can be controlled by a computer or a series of pegs which allow them to rise or fall.
