Craig Duncanson (born March 17, 1967) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey left winger. He was drafted in the first round, ninth overall, by the Los Angeles Kings in the 1985 NHL Entry Draft. He played thirty-eight games in the National Hockey League: twenty-eight over five seasons with the Kings, seven with the Winnipeg Jets in the 1990–91 season, and three with the New York Rangers in the 1992–93 season.
Duncanson was born in Sudbury, Ontario and raised in Walden, Ontario. He played junior hockey for the Sudbury Wolves, and was drafted after his second season, by the Los Angeles Kings. Duncanson turned professional in 1986 with two games for the King during the 1985-86 season. While in the Kings' organization, Duncanson played mostly for their affiliate New Haven Nighthawks with callups to the NHL squad. He was traded to Minnesota by the Kings for Daniel Berthiaume on September 6, 1990, then flipped by Minnesota to Winnipeg for Brian Hunt. On May 21, 1991, Duncanson was traded again, this time to the Washington Capitals. Duncanson never played for the Capitals, and he signed as a free agent with the New York Rangers on September 4, 1992. Duncanson played three seasons for the Rangers' organization, mostly with the Binghamton Rangers. In 1995, Duncanson left the Rangers organization, signing with the Orlando Solar Bears. Duncanson would play three seasons in the IHL before retiring.
After his retirement, Duncanson took up coaching with Laurentian University from 1997–2000.
