Lloyd Colin Doyley (born 1 December 1982 in Whitechapel, England) is a professional footballer, currently playing for Watford. He is primarily a right-back, but can also play as a centre-back. He is the longest serving player for the Hornets, and is contracted until 2008.

A graduate of the Watford Academy, Doyley made his debut at home to Birmingham City in a 3-3 draw on 26 September 2001. In total he made 22 appearances during 2001-02 as manager Gianluca Vialli blooded several youngsters. He flitted in and out of the first team in the following seasons, never drifting out of contention.

In the 2004-05 season, despite the signing of James Chambers from West Bromwich Albion, Doyley became a first-team regular, playing in the Carling Cup run that took Watford to the semi-finals and Anfield, where they lost to Liverpool 1-0 in each leg.

During the 2005-06 campaign, under new manager Adrian Boothroyd, Doyley made, aside from Ben Foster, the most appearances, playing a crucial part in Watford finishing third in the league and qualifying for the play-offs. He played in both legs of the play-off semi-final and the final, where Watford beat Leeds United to reach the Premiership.
