Doris Metaxa Howard (née Metaxa; 12 June 1911 – 7 September 2007) was a French tennis player of the 1930s.
Metaxa won the junior championships of France in 1927 and 1928. She was a member of Racing Club de France.
In 1932, she won Wimbledon title in the women's doubles with Belgian Josane Sigart against Elizabeth Ryan and Helen Jacobs, one year after a finals defeat with the same partner.
Two weeks after this victory, she married the British rugby player Peter Dunsmore Howard. They had three children, including Philip Howard, a journalist who worked for The Times.
