William Donald Doran (born May 28, 1958 in Cincinnati, Ohio) is a former second baseman in Major League Baseball who played from 1982 to 1993 with the Houston Astros (drafted in 6th round of 1979), Cincinnati Reds, and Milwaukee Brewers. He was the bench coach for the Kansas City Royals from 2005 to 2007 and posted a 4-6 record as the Royals' interim manager to close the 2006 season. Doran rejoined the Cincinnati Reds on November 2, 2007, as the Minor League infielding/baserunning coordinator.

Doran attended Mt. Healthy high school, and after graduating in 1976, attended the Miami University and played baseball for the Redskins.

As a player, Doran had a career .266 batting average, but had four seasons when he placed in the top 10 in the National League in bases on balls. Doran never made an All-Star team, but was a fan favorite at the Astrodome. He was widely considered the best Astros second baseman in team history until the emergence of Craig Biggio. He is among the career leaders in many offensive categories for the Astros. He is top 10 in: at bats (8th), runs (8th), hits (8th), singles (8th), triples (10th), total bases (9th), and bases on balls (6th). His career year was in 1987 when he led the NL in games played (162), batted .283, hit a career high 16 hrs, had a career high .992 fielding percentage, and scored a career high 79 runs.

Before being promoted to the Royals' bench coach in 2006, Doran served as first base coach for the Cincinnati Reds in 2001 and the Kansas City Royals in 2005.

Doran resides in Cincinnati with his wife Lori. He has a son Ryan and two daughters, Dana and Amy.
