Douglas Crockford is an American programmer and sound designer, who nowadays is best known for his work helping to develop the Javascript standard, but earlier in his career worked on numerous video games for Atari and then LucasArts. He attended San Francisco State University from 1971-1975, and worked for various software companies until he was hired by Atari in 1982. He worked there for two years until he was hired by LucasArts (then known as Lucasfilm Games), whom he worked for until 1992.

Early in his career at Lucasfilm Games, Crockford handled music and sound for a few games following the departure of Peter Langston, in keeping with the company's early policy of having their game designers handle the sound duties.
