Dougie Wood (born 15 February 1940) is a Scottish former footballer, who played for eleven seasons with Derry City from 1961-1972 in the Irish League. He won six inter-league caps for the Irish League between 1964 and 1967, and won the Irish Cup in 1963/64, the Irish League championship and the Gold Cup in 1964/65. He was the Ulster Footballer of the Year for the 1964/65 season.[1] He also managed the club as player-manager between July 1971 and July 1972.

Wood represented the Boston Rovers in the summer of 1967.[2]

After Shay Keogh resigned as Shamrock Rovers manager in December 1973, Wood (along with Shay Noonan and Dick Giles) took over team affairs for the rest of the 1973/74 season.

Dougie died peacefully at home, aged 82, on 3 June 2022.
