Douglas Costa de Souza (born 14 September 1990) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a winger for Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy and the Brazil national team. He is known for his dribbling skills, speed and crossing ability.

Costa made his professional debut with Grêmio in 2008, before moving to Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2010 for a fee of €6 million. He won numerous trophies with Shakhtar, including a domestic treble in the 2010–11 season (Premier League, the Ukrainian Cup and the Super Cup). In 2015, he joined Bayern for €30 million, and was loaned out to Juventus in 2017. On 7 June 2018, Juventus made his loan move permanent; he added another two consecutive league titles in his next two seasons with the club, as well as a Supercoppa Italiana title. On deadline day of the 2020 summer transfer window, Costa returned to Bayern Munich on loan.

A full international since 2014, Costa represented Brazil at the 2015 Copa América and the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
