Bevan John Docherty MNZM (born 29 March 1977) is a triathlete from New Zealand, who won medals twice at the Olympic Games.

Docherty and his sister Fiona grew up in Taupō, in the North Island of New Zealand and attended Tauhara College.

[3] In 2004, Docherty won the ITU world championship, and the silver medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, behind fellow New Zealander Hamish Carter.

The former world champion has started a new initiative, called "The Docherty Dares programme", aimed at supporting Kiwis to achieve goals they previously never thought possible.

The programme was inspired when Docherty saw Christchurch local, Scott Kotoul, crossing the finish line at the Round Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge.
