Douglas F. "Doug" O'Neill (born May 24, 1968 in Dearborn, Michigan) is an American Thoroughbred horse trainer.[1][2][3][4]

In 1986 he began working in Thoroughbred horse racing as a stable hand and eventually a training assistant. In 1994 he obtained his professional trainer's license and since the early 2000s has been a major figure on the California racing scene, with the largest stable in Southern California[5] and one of the largest and most successful in the United States.[6] He gained national attention for his Breeders' Cup wins and international recognition for winning the 2003 Japan Cup Dirt at Tokyo Racecourse.[7]

Two horses trained by O'Neill, Liquidity and Great Hunter, raced in the 2007 Kentucky Derby. This was O'Neill's first and second start in the Kentucky Derby.[8]

Based at Hollywood Park Racetrack, O'Neill and his family reside in Santa Monica, California.
