Doug Falconer (born January 30, 1952) is a Canadian-American film producer and former professional Canadian football player, having played in the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Falconer was born in Calgary, Alberta. His father was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. Growing up, Falconer was constantly on the move. After attending no less than five public schools across Canada, Falconer split his high school years between Base Borden Collegiate Institute outside of Toronto and then La Salle Secondary School in Kingston, Ontario.
While attending high school, Falconer was a four-sport star. He participated in football, basketball, track and field athletics and soccer. In his senior year at La Salle, Falconer scored 42 points in the Eastern Ontario Secondary School Basketball Championship game in a 33-point come-from-behind win. He was the city's scoring champion in both basketball and football. He was also the city's long jump and high jump champion that same year.
Following high school, Falconer went on to play basketball at St. Lawrence College where he played at the guard position. Falconer was a member of the 1971–72 St. Lawrence College O.C.A.A. Eastern Division Championship team.
In 1973, Falconer transferred to the University of Ottawa where he played as a wide receiver and as a defensive back on the football team. He once scored two touchdowns as a wide receiver against McGill University and intercepted 2 passes as a defensive back against the University of Windsor in the 1975 Churchill Bowl. Falconer was a member of the legendary 1975 National Championship Vanier Cup Team.
