Douglas Henderson (October 15, 1914-July 14, 2010) was an American diplomat, economist and government official. He is perhaps best known for his tenure as the United States Ambassador to Bolivia (1963-1968), particularly his significant role in facilitating the US government’s efforts to support the regime of President René Barrientos in its 1967 campaign against Marxist insurgents led by Ernesto “Che” Guevara
