Douglass North

Douglass Cecil North (* 5. november 1920, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA – † 23. november 2015, Benzonia, Michigan) bol americký inštitucionálny ekonóm, známy hlavne ako historik hospodárstva. 

V roku 1993 spolu s Robertom Fogelom získal Cenu Švédskej národnej banky za rozvoj ekonomickej vedy na pamiatku Alfreda Nobela za „znovuobnovenie výskumu ekonomickej histórie prostredníctvom aplikovania ekonomickej teórie a kvantitatívnych metód s cieľom vysvetliť ekonomické a inštitucionálne zmeny“.
