Douglas Ray Belden (April 24, 1927 – July 8, 1972) was an American professional football player who was a quarterback for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Western Interprovincial Football Union (WIFU). He participated in college football, baseball, basketball, and track at the University of Florida, where he was the last four-sport letterman in school history. In 1949, Belden was named a WIFU second-team All-Star while leading the Roughriders to an appearance in the WIFU finals. After retiring from football to take a job with a liquor company, he returned to the Roughriders in 1952.
At one time, he was also the youngest city councilman in Tampa, Florida, history at 26 years old. Belden was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame in 1969.
