David Anthony Bayliss (born 8 June 1976) is an English football manager. He previously played in defence.

Born in Liverpool, Merseyside, Bayliss joined Rochdale and progressed through the ranks, making his Football League debut in the 1994–95 season.

He went on to make 186 league appearances for them, scoring nine times, before joining Luton Town during 2001–02.

He spent four seasons at Kenilworth Road, making 37 league appearances and also had nine games on loan to Chester City before being released in the summer of 2005.

He spent the next season with Wrexham making 22 league appearances and he also had a four-game loan spell back at Rochdale.

In the summer of 2006, he joined Lancaster City but then left at the start of November to join Barrow. He has since become joint-manager of Barrow. Along with Darren Sheridan he oversaw a major turnaround in Barrow's season. The Bluebirds were 19th in the Conference North when Bayliss and Sheridan took over before an excellent second half to the season saw them finish 5th and qualify for the end of season play-offs. A 4–0 aggregate win over Telford United in the semi finals was followed by a 1–0 win against Stalybridge Celtic in the final at Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium and thus a place in the Conference National for the 2008–09 season. Bayliss and Sheridan successfully kept Barrow in the Conference National the following season, finishing twentieth.
