Donald E. Freeman (born July 18, 1944) is an American former professional basketball player.

A 6'3" guard, Freeman attended Madison High School and the University of Illinois.

Freeman never played for the Sixers; rather, he spent the first eight seasons of his career in the ABA, playing for the Minnesota Muskies, Miami Floridians, Texas/Dallas Chaparrals, Utah Stars, Indiana Pacers, and San Antonio Spurs.

He spent one season with that club, averaging 10.8 points per game before retiring in 1976.

His son, also named Don, was born in 1967, and later attended Rice University on a tennis scholarship.
