Douglas W. Schwartz (July 29, 1929 – June 29, 2016) was an American archaeologist best known for his work on the anthropology and archaeology of the American Southwest.
He was described by the School for Advanced Research (SAR) where he had been President and CEO as "a towering figure in the history of SAR and American archaeology".
He was born in Erie, Pennsylvania and brought up there and in Lexington, Kentucky.
Schwartz broadened the School's focus to embrace advanced scholarship in anthropology and the humanities worldwide; and to promote the study, preservation, and creation of Southwest Indian art.
Schwartz also continued the School's archaeological research with field excavations in the Grand Canyon in the late 1960s and, in the 1970s, the excavations of Arroyo Hondo Pueblo.
