Douglas Steven Frobel (born June 6, 1959) is a Canadian retired professional baseball player. An outfielder, he appeared in 268 Major League games over five seasons (1982–1985; 1987). He batted left-handed, threw right-handed, stood 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) tall and weighed 196 pounds (89 kg).

Signed as an amateur free agent in 1977, Frobel was developed in the Pittsburgh Pirates' farm system to take over the starting right fielder position from Dave Parker in 1984, after he batted .304 with 24 home runs and 80 runs batted in for the Triple-A Hawaii Islanders in 1983.

Prone to strikeouts, Frobel never played regularly but had a career high of 12 home runs in 126 games played in 1984.

In 607 MLB plate appearances and 542 at bats, Frobel registered 109 hits and 155 strikeouts.

A park in Nepean, Ontario was named after him.
