Casey Dick (born June 27, 1986) is a former American college football quarterback for the University of Arkansas. Currently coaches and teaches history at Bentonville West High School.

Dick played for Allen High School in Allen, Texas, United States. As a senior in 2004, he threw for 1,942 yards and 14 touchdowns, while adding 401 yards and 8 touchdowns rushing.

Dick committed to the University of Arkansas during the 2005 recruiting season. He was a 3-star rated prospect by Rivals.com recruiting analysts, heading a small group of 2005 quality QBs in Texas, alongside Chase Daniel and Colt McCoy.

Dick practiced as the 3rd team quarterback/scout team quarterback for the majority of the 2005 season, anticipating being redshirted for the season. His first playing time came during that same season in which he started off the bench over then-starter Robert Johnson for the game against South Carolina. Dick played well against South Carolina, Ole Miss, and 3rd ranked LSU and finished the season as the starting quarterback for the Razorbacks. Disputes continue today that if Casey Dick had started throughout the year, Arkansas may have gone to a bowl game.

During summer practices, Dick sustained an injury, prompting coaches to again start Johnson for the Southern California game. His injury healed, and he played a few games in the 2006 season, playing extensively in the final four when Mitch Mustain was benched after leading Arkansas on an 8-0 streak. Dick led Arkansas to a loss against the eventual NCAA National Championship University of Florida Gators in the 2006 SEC Championship Game.
