Stephen Doughty (16 October 1855 – 11 November 1929) was an English cricketer who played first class cricket for Derbyshire in 1880 and 1886.

Doughty was born at Staveley, Derbyshire and was originally a coal miner.[1] He made his debut for Derbyshire in June 1880 in a match against MCC in which he took a wicket and a catch and made modest scores. He played two more matches in the 1880 season, when he made little impression. He reappeared in the 1886 season against Yorkshire when he took three wickets for 28 runs.

Doughty was a right-arm off-break, medium pace bowler and took 4 first class wickets at an average of 19.75 and a best performance of 3 for 28. He was a right-hand batsman and played 7 innings in 4 matches with an average of 6.66 and a top score of 13 not out.[2]

Doughty was a cricket coach and his protegees included Percy Holmes and Herbert Sutcliffe.[3] He also umpired minor county matches mainly for Durham sides between 1912 and 1928. Doughty died at Halton East, Skipton, Yorkshire at the age of 74.
