Douglas (Scottish-Gaelic: Baile Dhùghlais) is a former township in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The township was the eventual destination of Loyalists fleeing the Siege of Ninety Six during the American Revolutionary War. In 1861, along with the township of Rawdon, Nova Scotia, the Douglas township became part of the newly formed Municipal District of East Hants, along with neighbouring townships.

The township is the site of the present-day communities of Kennetcook, Gore, Noel and Maitland.^[1]
