Davenell Frederick "Dav" Whatmore (born 16 March 1954) is a Sri Lankan-born former Australian cricketer and current coach.
A right-handed batsman, Whatmore played seven Test matches for Australia in 1979, and one One Day International in 1980. At first-class level, he scored over 6,000 runs for Victoria.
Since the 1990s, Whatmore has coached the Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan national cricket teams. In December 2014, he was appointed coach of the Zimbabwe team.
Whatmore was born in Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka) and was educated at Royal College, Colombo. He and his family migrated to Australia in 1962.Thereafter he lived in Mentone, a suburb of Melbourne and studied at Mentone Grammar School.
Whatmore made his first class debut in 1975-76 touring South Africa with a Derek Robins XI. He debuted for Victoria at the end of that summer and in the next season became an important part of the Victorian team, being appointed vice captain under Graham Yallop.
Whatmore's first century came against South Australia which he followed with one against New South Wales.
Whatmore started the 1978-79 domestic season slowly, but eventually found form and became one of the most successful batsman that season. He also had to captain Victoria when Yallop was absent due to test duty, and played a vital role in the state winning the Sheffield Shield that summer.
A century against Queensland late in the season saw him selected in the Australian team to play Pakistan, replacing Peter Toohey.
