Douw Calitz, born on 30 December 1974, is an international lawn bowls player who represents Namibia; he was born in South Africa. In 2003 he became the World Singles Champion of Champions, defeating Darren Burnett of Scotland in the final. He has competed for Namibia at five World Bowls Championships, in 1996, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016, and at six Commonwealth Games, in 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2014 and 2018, which is a record number of appearances for Namibia at the Commonwealth Games. His career is therefore marked both by a world singles title and by unusually long service to the Namibian team.
