Karl Anthony Duguid (born 21 March 1978) is an English former professional footballer who plays as a midfielder or as a defender for Stanway Rovers as a player-manager.

He is best known for spending the majority of his career playing for Colchester United where, over two stints, he made in excess of 400 league appearances. He also played for Plymouth Argyle before finishing his professional career at Colchester, where he became a coach following his retirement in 2014.

After leaving his coaching role at Colchester in October 2014, Duguid returned to playing with Stanway Rovers the same month, before joining Welling United in the Conference in January 2015. He returned to Stanway after two months with Welling, before making a move to Needham Market in the summer of 2015, where he became academy manager alongside former Colchester teammate Kemal Izzet. He joined Heybridge Swifts in May 2016, and was appointed manager of Stanway Rovers in December 2016.

Duguid, born in Letchworth, had been at Colchester United since he was a 16-year-old, coming up through the youth team scheme at Layer Road. He was playing in the first team by the age of 17 as a second-year YTS. He missed a crucial penalty as Colchester lost the 1997 Football League Trophy Final in a shootout against Carlisle United. He helped the club win promotion to the Second Division in 1998, via the play-offs. A serious knee injury ruled him out of the whole 2004–05 season. However, he returned as captain and led Colchester to promotion to the Championship for the first time ever, followed by their highest ever league position 12 months later. After the first year in the Championship, Duguid kicked off 2007–08 campaign by making his 400th appearance at Sheffield United on the opening day. He signed a new contract in January 2007, and played in all but three of the U's league games but was unable to prevent them from suffering relegation back to League One.
