Douglas Tait is a Canadian children's book illustrator. He won the Amelia Frances Howard-Gibbon Illustrator's Award in 1981 for illustrating The Trouble with Princesses.

The Trouble with Princesses was written by Christie Harris of British Columbia; it was published by Atheneum Books in the U.S. and by McClelland & Stewart in Canada; and it is not a picture book (170 pages). The same points are true of more than half of Tait's books in the U.S. Library of Congress Catalogue, 8 of 13 titles as of July 2015. According to one library catalogue record, The Trouble with Princesses "retells stories about Northwest Coast princesses and compares them with similar Old World princesses", OCLC 9085067.
