Douglas Free (born January 16, 1984) is a former offensive tackle in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at Northern Illinois University and was drafted by the Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2007 NFL Draft.

Free attended Lincoln High School in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. As a senior, he was named Defensive Lineman of the Year, All-state, and All-Fox Valley Conference on both offense (tight end) and defense (defensive tackle).

He accepted a football scholarship from Northern Illinois University, with the plan of being converted into an offensive tackle. After being redshirted, he was forced to start at right tackle as a freshman, when sophomore tackle Shea Fitzgerald was killed along with 12 others, in a back porch collapse during a party in Lincoln Park, in Chicago, Illinois.

In college, he developed into an athletic player that earned him the nickname "Doug Freak" among his teammates. He eventually settled at left tackle and was named second-team All-MAC as a sophomore and first-team All-MAC and honorable mention All-American as a junior.
