Duncan Bell McLachlan (30 October 1893 – 15 September 1958) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played five matches of first-class cricket for Canterbury and Otago between the 1912–13 and 1921–22 seasons.[1]

A left-arm medium-pace bowler, McLachlan took 22 wickets in seven days in two first-class matches on Canterbury's northern tour in January 1915. On 6 and 7 January, against Hawke's Bay in Hastings, he took 7 for 57 and 5 for 17 in Canterbury's innings victory.[2] On 9, 11 and 12 January he took 4 for 59 and 6 for 43 against Wellington at the Basin Reserve, Wellington; Canterbury won by 92 runs.[3]

McLachlan served overseas with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in World War I.[4] He was part of the New Zealand occupation of Cologne in Germany immediately after the end of the war.[5]

Professionally McLachlan worked as a piano tuner. He died at Chatswood in Sydney in 1958 aged 64.[6]
