Douglas Rosyth Lawrence (20 October 1929 — 8 July 2000) was a Scottish first-class cricketer and administrator.

Lawrence was born in October 1929 at Portobello, Midlothian. He was educated at the Royal High School, Edinburgh.[1] A club cricketer for both Royal High School Former Pupils and Grange Cricket Club's, Lawrence made his debut for Scotland in first-class cricket against Yorkshire at Hull during Scotland's 1956 tour of England. He played first-class cricket for Scotland until 1958, making seven appearances.[2] Playing as a right-arm fast-medium bowler, he took 12 wickets at an average of 40.91, with best figures of 4 for 56.[3] As a tailend batsman, he scored 32 runs with a highest score of 10.[4] Lawrence had his best seasons in club cricket as a bowler following his 40th birthday, where he replaced speed with the ability to swing the ball.[1]

He later succeeded Neil Bowman as the president of the Scottish Cricket Union in 1990.[5][6] He was additionally the president of the East of Scotland Cricket Association.[1] Outside of cricket, he was an engineer by profession. Lawrence died at Edinburgh in July 2000.
