Nicolas Douchez (born 22 April 1980) is a French football goalkeeper who plays for RC Lens in the French Ligue 2.
In 2005, Douchez signed for Toulouse FC. He played 86 league games for the club before signing with Rennes.
Douchez signed for the club in 2008 where he spent over three years with the club playing over 100 league games.
In 2011 Douchez signed for Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer from Rennes. He was given the number 1 jersey for the upcoming season. Although he was initially expected to be the starter, this changed following the arrival of new club management, which recruited Salvatore Sirigu, who instead became the team's starting goalkeeper. Douchez played in the club's 2–1 victory over Lyon in the 2014 Coupe de la Ligue Final on 19 April 2014. After the arrival of Kevin Trapp, Douchez became third goalkeeper.
On 1 October 2009, Douchez was called up to France manager Raymond Domenech's 23-man squad for 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Faroe Islands and Austria.
