Doug Wyer (born 16 August 1947 in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England)[1] is a former international speedway rider who reached the final of the Speedway World Championship in 1976. Rode for Young Lions V Great Britain on 6 April 1976 at Leicester Stadium.
In 1980, Wyer won the South Australian Championship at the then new Speedway Park in Adelaide. The 430 metres (470 yd) long Speedway Park was a different track than Wyer was used to as its surface is clay rather than the dirt/shale track he rode in at home.
Wyer won the National League Pairs Championship with Les Collins in 1986
