Dúghall of Lorne [or de Ergadia] (died 1403) was a late 14th century and early 15th century prelate in the Kingdom of Scotland. Probably a MacDúghaill (MacDougall) from the province of Lorne in Argyll, he appears to have studied at the University of Oxford before returning to Scotland for an ecclesiastical and administrative career. He obtained benefices in the diocese of Argyll, Dunkeld, Dunblane and St Andrews, and acted as the secretary and chaplain of Robert Stewart, Earl of Fife (after 1398, Duke of Albany), before becoming Bishop of Dunblane. He held the bishopric of Dunblane until his death in 1403.

Dúghall was from the diocese of Argyll. His surname is given variously as de Lorne (of Lorne) or as de Ergadia (of Argyll), the surnames used by the higher-ranking members of the MacDúghaill kindred and the old lords of Argyll; he was certainly a kinsman of John Gallda, the MacDúghaill Lord of Argyll who died sometime between 1371 and 1388. He was misidentified in Wood's Peerage (and those using that work thereafter) as a son of Sir John Drummond of Stobhall, the ballie of the abthen of Dull; this would have made him a brother of Anabella Drummond, wife and queen to King Robert III of Scotland. He is styled Petri in a few sources, meaning perhaps that his father's name was Peadar (or Peter), though this is far from certain as that name was unusual at the time anywhere in Scotland.
