David John Ian Dunn (born 27 December 1979) is an English former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. He spent the majority of his career playing for Blackburn Rovers. Following a short-lived player-manager spell at League One club Oldham Athletic, Dunn returned to Blackburn Rovers in February 2016 working alongside former teammate Damien Johnson as Under 23s Assistant Coach. He is currently the club's first team coach, assisting head coach Tony Mowbray.
He has also played for Birmingham City in between his two spells with Blackburn Rovers, and made his only appearance for England in 2002.
Dunn joined Blackburn Rovers as a trainee at the beginning of 1997 and made his debut during a goalless draw with Everton on 26 September 1998. Dunn came off the bench after 70 minutes, but was taken off again on 81 minutes, due to the sending off of Martin Dahlin.
In his second appearance Blackburn beat Newcastle United at St James' Park in the League Cup and Dunn scored the winning penalty in the shootout.
His first goal came in a 3–1 victory against Aston Villa on 26 February 1999, but the team was subsequently relegated in this, his first full season. In 2000–01 Blackburn entertained Rochdale in the League Cup where Dunn scored a hat-trick from the penalty spot. He reached double figures in terms of goals in 2000, and continued his good form in 2001–02 when the club won the League Cup. Dunn starred in Rovers return to the Premier League, putting in a string of impressive performances, notably in the 7–1 battering of West Ham United and the 3–3 draw at Arsenal, where he managed to score two goals, one a last minute equaliser.
