Douglas Frantz (born September 29, 1949, in North Manchester, Indiana) is an American Pulitzer Prize-winning former investigative journalist and author, and served as the deputy secretary-general of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development from 2015 to 2017.

He resigned as Los Angeles Times Managing Editor in 2007 after blocking the publication of an article about the Armenian genocide; Frantz said his resignation was not related to the ensuing controversy.
