It is the second time the world number six has pulled out of a tournament this season because of the same injury.
Earlier this year, Sharapova also had to withdraw from her intended season opener, the Brisbane International.
"Unfortunately, I will not be able to play the Qatar Open because of my left forearm injury," the 28-year-old said in statement released by Qatar Tennis.
"I would like to wish the tournament and all the great fans in Doha a great week of tennis and I hope to see them next year." Sharapova has won in Qatar twice — in 2005 and 2008.
