Angus Edmund Duford (October 18, 1891 – May 21, 1950) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player. Duford played at the center forward position for the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey Association (NHA) in 1913–1916.[1] Over three seasons in the NHA Duford scored 13 goals in 45 games. He was born in Hawthorne, Ontario.

Duford fought with the Canadian military in World War I and was dangerously injured by an exploding shell in Somme, France, in 1917. It left his right side paralyzed and disabled his speech, and he never played hockey again.[2]

He died at his home in Ottawa, May 21, 1950.[3]
