David George "Dave" Carlton (born 24 November 1952) is an English retired professional football midfielder who made 320 appearances in the Football League, most notably for Northampton Town and Brentford.
Carlton began his career as an apprentice at West Ham United, moving to Fulham in 1969. He made his debut during the 1971–72 Division Two season, making 8 appearances in total. After a loan spell at North American Soccer League side Dallas Tornado in the summer of 1972, Carlton returned to Fulham, but made just one further appearance before his departure in October 1973.
Carlton signed for Division Four side Northampton Town in October 1973. He made just six league appearances in what remained of the 1973–74, but became a regular pick from the beginning of the 1974–75 season, helping the Cottagers to promotion to Division Three a year later. Northampton were relegated back to Division Four at the first time of asking and Carlton departed the County Ground early in the 1976–77 season. He made 104 league appearances and scored six goals during nearly three years with Northampton.
