Douglas C. "Doug" Kenney (December 10, 1946 – August 27, 1980) was an American writer and actor. He was born in Palm Beach, Florida. He was one of the co-founders of "National Lampoon" magazine, along with Henry Beard and Robert Hoffman. Kenney collaborated with Beard at the Harvard Lampoon, which they wrote for while they went to the namesake college. They both co-wrote the satirical novel "Bored of the Rings". Afterwards, they went to make a nationwide version of the magazine christened, "The National Lampoon". The magazine spun off into a radio show, a TV special, albums and films—which he also wrote for.
