Douglas John Harrop (16 April 1947 – 26 November 2024)[1] was an English cricketer. Harrop was a left-handed batsman who fielded as a wicket-keeper. He was born at Cosby, Leicestershire.

Harrop made a single first-class appearance for Leicestershire against Oxford University at the University Parks in 1972.[2] Leicestershire won the toss and elected to bat first, making 289/9 declared, during which Harrop was dismissed for a duck by Michael Wagstaffe. Oxford University then responded in their first-innings by making 125 all out, during which Harrop took two catches from behind the stumps, catching behind David Williams and Wagstaffe. In their second-innings, Leicestershire made 149/5 declared, with Harrop ending the innings not out on 11. Set 314 for victory, Oxford University were dismissed for 269 in their second-innings chase, giving Leicestershire victory by 44 runs. During that innings, Harrop caught behind Wagstaffe for the second time in the match.[3] This was his only major appearance for Leicestershire.
