Hugh Lawrence "Laurie" Doherty (born October 8, 1875 in Wimbledon, London – died August 21, 1919 in Broadstairs, Kent) was a British male tennis player and younger brother of Reggie Doherty.

Laurie ("Little Do") was the shorter, at 5-foot-10, younger, and probably better, of the Doherty brothers who learned to play tennis in their native England and at Wimbledon at the turn of the century.

Lawrence Doherty won Wimbledon 5 consecutive times in the singles and 7 times in the doubles together with his brother. In 1903 he became the first tennis player to win a Grand Slam tournament outside of his native country by beating defending champion Larned at the U.S. Open (6-0, 6-3, 10-8).

He was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in 1980.
