Doug Fleming was an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1950s. A goal-kicking fullback, he played in Sydney's NSWRFL for St. George, winning the 1949 and 1956 Premierships with them. Fleming also played for Dapto's rugby league club.[1]

In 1949 Fleming started playing in the NSWRFL's first grade premiership for St. George, forcing the club's Test fullback Noel Pidding onto the wing.[2] At the end of the 1949 NSWRFL season he played for St. George at fullback in their grand final victory.

Fleming was the 1955 NSWRFL season's top point-scorer. In 1956 he represented Sydney against the New Zealand Māori rugby league team.[3]

Fleming was also the 1956 NSWRFL season's top point scorer with a personal best 189 points,[4] and he played at fullback in St. George's 1956 Grand Final victory.

After 8 seasons in first grade at St. George, the 1957 NSWRFL season was the last to feature Fleming.[5]
