Doug Carrion (born November 9, 1964) is an American musician, audio engineer, record producer, and music editor. He played bass guitar in the punk rock bands the Descendents and Dag Nasty during the 1980s, and in the hard rock band For Love Not Lisa in the early 1990s. He has had a long working relationship with Brad "Daddy X" Xavier, playing with him in the punk rock bands Doggy Style and Humble Gods, working with his rap rock group the Kottonmouth Kings in the 2000s, and playing on his solo albums. Carrion has also composed, edited, and recorded music for television and films, including several reality television series and game shows during the 2000s. In 2012 he started his own Americana group, Doug C and the Blacklisted.
Carrion attended Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, California with Descendents drummer Bill Stevenson and singer Milo Aukerman. He played bass guitar in the punk rock bands Con 800 and Anti, with whom he recorded demos. In 1985 he joined the Descendents, replacing original bassist Tony Lombardo, and accompanied the band on their first tour: "I get this weird note on my door, and it's like 'Hey, this is Bill. I'm thinking about doing the Descendents again. Tony can't do it, so I want to know if you want to give it a swing.' So we practiced getting me brought up to speed and then, right as school was ready to stop, Milo jumped in the van and we started doing shows." He later recalled of the experience:
