Terry Duguid (born 1954/1955) is a Canadian politician and executive in Manitoba, Canada, and is currently the MP for Winnipeg South in the Canadian House of Commons. He has campaigned for elected office at the municipal, provincial and federal levels, and served as a city councillor in Winnipeg from 1989 to 1995. He is the son of two time world and Canada curling champion Don Duguid.

Duguid holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and a Master's Degree in Environmental Science. He has been involved a variety of eco-business pursuits in the Winnipeg area, including being president of Sustainable Development International, and serving as chairman of the Manitoba Clean Environment Commission. He was president and CEO of the Gateway North Marketing Agency, which is responsible for ensuring the survival of the Port of Churchill and the Hudson Bay Rail Line. He is also the founding president of the International Centre for Infectious Diseases, a not-for-profit organization created after the outbreak of SARS to support and enhance the mandate of the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Duguid was a long-time environmental activist prior to his entry to politics. He was executive director of the Manitoba Liberal Party in the 1980s.

Duguid served as a Winnipeg City Councillor from 1989 to 1995 for the Miles MacDonell Ward (20,000 constituents) and North Kildonan Ward (40,000 constituents). He was chairman of the Public Works Committee. In that position he helped create Winnipeg's blue box recycling program.
