Kris Mark Doolan (born 11 December 1986) is a Scottish professional football coach and former player who manages Scottish Championship club Partick Thistle.

Doolan played as a striker, spending the majority of his professional career at Partick Thistle. He also played for Kello Rovers, Auchinleck Talbot, Clyde, Ayr United, Greenock Morton and Arbroath. Doolan represented Scotland at junior level for the 2008 Junior International Quadrangular Tournament held on the Isle of Man.

Doolan joined Partick Thistle in 2009 after an impressive start to his career in the Scottish junior leagues with Kello Rovers and Auchinleck Talbot. He became one of their most prolific and consistent goal scorers in the club's history, currently in joint fourth position in the all-time top scorers list[2] In recognition for his services to the club, Doolan was inducted into the Partick Thistle Hall of Fame in March 2019. He was released by Thistle at the end of the 2018–19 season and subsequently had short spells at Ayr United and Morton. After returning to Thistle as a youth coach at the Thistle Weir Youth Academy, Doolan was appointed Partick Thistle manager in 2023.
