Donald McNeil Greig (31 January 1897 – 15 September 1959) was a British tennis player.
Born in Battersea, Greig was an England representative player, most active on tour in the 1920s. His career singles titles include the East of England Championships and Kent Championships. Internationally he also had successes, winning the Sweden Covered Court (singles) and German Championships (doubles). He reached the singles round of 16 at the Wimbledon Championships four times.
