For the Labour MP and former minister, see Doug Henderson.

Douglas Henderson is a Scottish nationalist. He served as a Member of Parliament for the Scottish National Party (SNP), representing the Aberdeenshire East constituency from 1974 to 1979.

He was elected at the February 1974 general election, being re-elected in the October general election that same year. He served as the SNP's group whip in parliament before losing his seat in the 1979 general election.

At the SNP Conference in 1979 he was elected the party's deputy leader (to leader Gordon Wilson), defeating Margo MacDonald for the post.

He remains active in politics and contested the 2004 election to the European Parliament as a SNP candidate. He was not elected as he was placed fourth on the party's list and they gained only two seats. He also contested the Dumfries and Galloway seat at the 2005 general election, finishing third behind Russell Brown, the Labour candidate and Peter Duncan the Conservative candidate.
