Duncan Oughton (born June 14, 1977 in Wellington, New Zealand) is a New Zealand footballer who plays for the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer.
Oughton played college soccer at Cal State Fullerton from 1997 to 2000. Before joining CS Fullerton, he played at Otago University in New Zealand. As a senior as CS Fullerton, he scored 17 goals and 8 assists.
Upon graduating, Oughton was selected 10th overall in the 2001 MLS SuperDraft by the Columbus Crew. Duncan immediately found playing time with the Crew, playing 20 games as a rookie, 12 of which he started. He has maintained a starting role for the Crew for the past three years, and is particularly useful because of his ability to play numerous positions in the midfield and defence. Oughton has played 91 total games for the team in the last four years, registering two goals and six assists. He missed the entire 2005 season with a knee injury and was released in May 2006. However, he continued to train with the team, and on 18 August 2006 the team waived Leonard Bisaku and re-signed Oughton.
Oughton is also an important player for the New Zealand national team, receiving his first cap in 2002 in a win over Tahiti in the Oceania Nations Cup.
