Douglas Henderson (16 July 1935 – 15 September 2006) was a Scottish politician.
He was Depute Leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) from 1971 to 1973 and from 1979 to 1981.
He served as a Scottish National Party Member of Parliament (MP) for East Aberdeenshire from 1974 to 1979, and held virtually every national office in the SNP, short of party leader.
His political style has been described as "no-nonsense" and "very blunt and forthright".
He was also known for his forceful public speaking, which former SNP leader Alex Salmond described as "messianic".
