Donald Ray January (born November 20, 1929) is an American professional golfer. He was born in Plainview, Texas.

Don January won 10 PGA Tour titles in his career (though never more than one in a year), with his most notable victory coming at the 1967 PGA Championship. He won the Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average in 1976. He was chosen to play on the U.S. Ryder Cup team in both 1965 and 1977.
