Nelson Doubleday (June 16, 1889 in Brooklyn - January 11, 1949 at Oyster Bay, Long Island) was a U.S. book publisher. He was the nephew of author Russell Doubleday, the son of Frank Nelson Doubleday and Neltje Blanchan, and the father of Nelson Doubleday Jr.

Rudyard Kipling wrote his "Just So" stories for Doubleday.

His widow, Ellen Doubleday (1899-1978), left her collection of Doubleday business and personal documents to Princeton University. The Ellen McCarter Doubleday Papers, circa 1930s-1978 is composed of business and social correspondence, documents by and from Doubleday authors, personal and family letters, and issues related to Doubleday estates.
