David Bruce Tetteh (born 10 August 1985) is a Ghanaian-Kyrgyz international footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Al-Ittihad.
Born in Ghana, he moved to Central Asia in 2006, playing one season in Tajikistan for Regar-TadAZ Tursunzoda. He moved to neighbouring Kyrgyzstan in 2007 to local giants Dordoi, playing for them on loan in 2007, and signing them the following season. In 2008 Tetteh obtained citizenship of Kyrgyzstan, which made him available to play for the national team five years later. After nine-years with Dordoi Bishkek, Tetteh moved to Bahraini 2nd Division side Al-Ittihad on 30 September 2016.
Tetteh came to fame in Kyrgyzstan immediately after he made his international debut at the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup qualification tournament. He scored all of Kyrgyzstan's goals in three consecutive 1–0 victories.
Kyrgyzstan manager Sergey Dvoryankov praised Tetteh, and after one of the matches of the campaign thanked "everyone who gave him Kyrgyz citizenship".
