Wendy Doolan (born 16 December 1968) is an Australian professional golfer who plays mainly on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour.

Doolan was born in Sydney, Australia. She started playing golf at the age of 14. In 1991 she was runner up at the British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship and she turned professional later that year.

In the early years of her career, Doolan played in Asia and Europe and on the second tier Futures Tour in the United States. She tied for 21st at the 1995 LPGA Tour Qualifying Tournament and has played on the LPGA Tour since 1996. Her three victories on the Tour came at the 2001 LPGA Champions Classic, the 2003 Welch's/Fry's Championship and the 2004 Evian Masters. The Evian Masters, which is played in France, is the second richest event in women's golf after the U.S. Women's Open, and is recognised as a major championship by the Ladies European Tour. Her best finish in an LPGA major is a tie for seventh place at the 2001 U.S. Women's Open.
