Don Bies (born December 10, 1937) is an American professional golfer who has won tournaments on the PGA Tour and the Senior PGA Tour (now known as the Champions Tour).

Bies was born in Cottonwood, Idaho. He turned pro in 1957. Bies won the 1975 Sammy Davis Jr.-Greater Hartford Open, and is a 7-time winner of the Washington State PGA Championship. His best finish in a major was a T-5 at the 1968 U.S. Open. He last played on the PGA Tour in 1980.

After turning 50 at the end of 1987, Bies joined the Senior PGA Tour, where his fortunes improved dramatically with respect to winning tournaments.
