Douglas Fairbanks, ursprungligen Douglas Elton Thomas Ullman, född 23 maj 1883 i Denver i Colorado, USA, död 12 december 1939 i Santa Monica i Kalifornien, var en amerikansk skådespelare, manusförfattare, regissör och producent. Fairbanks är främst känd för sina hjälteroller i en mängd äventyrsfilmer under stumfilmseran, däribland Zorros märke (1920), Robin Hood (1922) och Tjuven i Bagdad (1924), men inledde sin karriär med att göra komedier. Fairbanks var en av grundarna till United Artists. Han var också med och grundade Amerikanska filmakademien samt var värd för den första Oscarsgalan år 1929. I och med äktenskapet med Mary Pickford 1920 blev paret betraktat som kungligheter i Hollywood och Fairbanks kallades "The King of Hollywood". Även om Douglas Fairbanks ansågs vara en av de största stjärnorna i Hollywood under 1910- och 1920-talen, gick hans karriär snabbt utför vid ljudfilmens genombrott. Fairbanks sista film blev den romantiska dramakomedin (1934).
