John Norman Doig (24 July 1910 – 29 July 2001) was an Australian rules footballer who played for East Fremantle in the West Australian National Football League (WANFL) during the 1930s. He also had a brief stint with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

His brothers Bill and Edgar also represented East Fremantle in the WANFL. He made a total of 138 senior appearances for East Fremantle, with Doig's two games at Essendon coming when he was in Melbourne on war service.[1]
