Donald Leslie "Don" Langsford (born 7 May 1959) is a former Australian rules footballer who was highly successful in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) playing for the Swan Districts Football Club.

Langsford was initially recruited from the Scotch College, Perth and commenced his long WAFL career in 1977. A noted defender, Langsford played mostly on the half back flank, but still managed to kick 60 career goals. He also played in four WAFL grandfinals. [2]

Swan Distrcits entered a period of remarkable success in the early 1980s by winning a hat-trick of premierships in 1981, 1982 and 1983 with Langsford being an integral part of the team. His best year was in 1983 when he was awarded the "Westside Football" Player of the Year award.

In 1987 Langsford was recruited as part of the West Coast Eagles inaugural team in the AFL,[3] but never played a match for the team.[4]

John Todd rated Langsford as one of the seven best players he coached at Swan Districts.[citation needed] He is listed in the Swan Districts Team of the Century as an interchange player. Then in later 2008 was named in the Scotch College Football team of the century adding to his collection of great achievements.
