Doug Strang was an Australian rules footballer who played in the VFL between 1931 and 1935 for the Richmond Football Club.

Whilst several injuries restricted his VFL career to just 64 games. In just his second VFL game, his 14 goals kicked against North Melbourne in 1931 still stands to this day as the record for the most goals kicked by a Richmond player in a single game, and the youngest player to kick 10 or more goals in a VFL game, at just 18 years and 300 days old.

He was the brother of dual Richmond premiership player Gordon Strang and father of dual Richmond premiership player Geoff Strang.
