David DiLucia (born January 15, 1970) is a former professional tennis player from the United States.
As a junior, DiLucia had his greatest success at the 1987 US Open, where he was a boy's singles semi-finalist. En route to the semi-finals he beat Jonathan Stark, whom he would partner in the boy's doubles event at the 1988 Wimbledon Championships. The pair were semi-finalists. He also played junior Davis Cup for the United States and in 1988 won the Easter Bowl singles title.
DiLucia, who is a member of the ITA Men's Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame, was a five-time All-American while playing at the University of Notre Dame. He was a singles All-American in 1990 and then earned All-American honors for both singles and doubles in each of the next two years. By the time he left, he had established several Notre Dame records. Most notably he had managed more singles wins (146) and more doubles wins (219) than any player in the history of Notre Dame tennis. In 1991 he became the first tennis player ever to be named "Athlete of the Year" at Notre Dame. In the 1992 pre-season, DiLucia held top spot on the collegiate ranking for both singles and doubles.
At the 1991 Pan American Games, held in Cuba, DiLucia was a gold medalist in the mixed doubles, with partner Pam Shriver. He was also a singles silver medalist, losing the final to Mexico's Luis Herrera.
DiLucia began playing on the ATP Tour in 1992 and on his tour debut, at the U.S. Pro Indoor tournament, had a win over former top 10 player Kevin Curren. He was eliminated from the tournament by Pete Sampras and would meet Sampras again at the 1992 US Open, losing both matches in straight sets.
