Duane Calvin Sutter (born March 16, 1960) is a Canadian former National Hockey League (NHL) player and head coach. Sutter was a first-round pick in 1979 and made the major league early in the 1979-80 season with the Islanders and played in all 21 playoff games, where he scored a goal in the decisive game six of the Stanley Cup Final as the Islanders won the first of four consecutive Stanley Cups. Sutter had the most points (7) for all players in the 1983 Final and 21 in total for the playoffs for New York's fourth championship. As a player, Sutter had seven seasons with 100+ penalty minutes and two 50-point seasons. After leaving the Islanders in 1987, he played for the Chicago Blackhawks from 1987 to 1990 before retiring. In eleven seasons as a player, he never missed the playoffs.

He became a scout in 1990 with Chicago and later became a head coach in the WHL and IHL before becoming an assistant coach of the Florida Panthers in 1996. He served as interim head coach of the Panthers in the middle of the 2000-01 season and coached the team until he was fired in the middle of the 2001-02 season. He remained associated with the Panthers in player development until 2008 when he left to serve as director of player personnel in 2008 for the Calgary Flames. He departed for the Edmonton Oilers to be a pro scout in 2011, later becoming Vice President of player personnel in 2016 until he was let go in 2019.

He is one of the famed six Sutter brothers to play in the NHL.
