Doug Ford is an Australian rock guitarist and songwriter of the 1960s and beyond.

He first came to prominence in the mid-1960s in Sydney as a member of the second incarnation of legendary Australian rock group The Missing Links (1965-66). This was followed by a stint in the Links' Melbourne-based successor Running Jumping Standing Still (1966-67).

From 1968 to 1972, Ford was the lead guitarist in the popular Australian pop-rock band The Masters Apprentices and he established a successful writing partnership with the group's lead singer Jim Keays.

The version of the group that included Ford, Keays, bassist Glenn Wheatley and drummer Colin Burgess made some of the band's most successful recordings, including the singles "5:10 Man", "Turn Up Your Radio", "Because I Love" and "Love Is" and the album Choice Cuts (1971), which was recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London.
