Douglas Clive Hannaford (11 January 1903 – 24 October 1967) was an Australian politician. Born in Riverton, South Australia, a son of Walter Hannaford MLC, and one of many notable descendants of Susannah Hannaford, he was educated at Prince Alfred College in Adelaide before returning to Riverton as a farmer. He served on Riverton Council and was a co-ordinator of civil defence during World War II. In 1949, he was elected to the Australian Senate as a Liberal Senator for South Australia. In February 1967, he left the Liberal Party to sit as an independent, but he died in October, necessitating the appointment of Liberal Condor Laucke to fill the vacancy.
