Douglas Sills (July 5, 1960-) is a United States actor.

Born in Detroit, Michigan, he attended the University of Michigan where he majored in music. He then continued his education at the American Conservatory Theatre in California. Though he participated in local theatre, he could not manage to land a Broadway role until composer Frank Wildhorn and lyricist Nan Knighton arrived in hopes of finding a male lead for their new musical, The Scarlet Pimpernel. Before this audition, Sills told his agent not so send him out on any more auditions because he was going to law school (he scored in the 99th percentile on the Law School Admission Test, (LSAT) so he could make a stable living. However, being a fan of the movie as a child, Sills decided to give acting one more chance. Luckily, the casting directors cast Sills as Sir Percy Blakeney (The Scarlet Pimpernel character), the lead role. Douglas Sills opened on his first Broadway show on November 9, 1997. Continuing the role in three other versions of the show, Sills received a Tony nomination for his role.
