Laurence Docherty (born February 24, 1980 in Edinburgh) is a Dutch field hockey player of Scottish origin.

Docherty applied for the Dutch nationality in an attempt to play for the Netherlands at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. He didn't succeed, and got his Dutch pasport one year later, made his debut for the team of coach Roelant Oltmans, but didn't made it the the squad for the 2006 Men's Hockey World Cup in Mönchengladbach. He came to Holland in 2000, and played club hockey for HC Klein Zwitserland until the 2007-8 season, when he moved to rival club Bloemendaal.

In 2007, Docherty missed out on playing the European Championship in Manchester, but was called into the Netherlands squad for the Champions Trophy in Malaysia in November 2007, thus boosting his prospects of playing in the Beijing Olympics.
