Doug Atchison is an American motion picture director and writer. He received the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Nicholl Fellowship for Akeelah and the Bee in 2000.

After winning the Nicholl Fellowship, former ICM superagent Lou Pitt guided Doug's script into production in partnership with Lions Gate Films, 2929 Entertainment, and Starbucks Productions. Akeelah and the Bee went on to become a critical and modest commercial success, which lauched Atchison's career. In 2006, Atchison entered into a three-picture deal with The Weinstein Company.

Atchison graduated from the University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television.
