Duhan van der Merwe (born 4 June 1995) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with Scottish Pro12 side Edinburgh. He plays as a wing.
Van der Merwe was born and grew up in George in the Western Cape province of South Africa. He attended and played rugby for Hoërskool Outeniqua, earning several provincial colours by representing the SWD Eagles at youth tournaments. In 2011, he represented SWD at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week held in Queenstown, appearing in all three matches and scoring a try in their 25–8 victory over KwaZulu-Natal.
The following year, he played for SWD at the premier schoolboy rugby tournament in South Africa, the Under-18 Craven Week. He scored four tries – two against the Limpopo Blue Bulls and two against Western Province – at the tournament held in Port Elizabeth. He was named in the South Africa Schools team at the conclusion of the tournament, and made two starts for them in the Under-18 International Series, helping them to victories over France and England.
Still eligible for the Under-18s in 2013, Van der Merwe again played in all three of SWD's matches at the Craven Week held in Polokwane. He scored three tries – two against Eastern Province and one in a victory over the Blue Bulls – and was again included in the South African Schools team. He scored a try in their 19–14 victory over England in their first match of the 2013 Under-18 International Series, and followed that up with two tries in their next match against France. He didn't score in their final match against Wales, but still finished as the top try scorer in the competition.
