Dana Dean Altman (born June 16, 1958) is an American college basketball coach of the Oregon Ducks men's team.

Altman left Marshall after only one season to replace his mentor, Lon Kruger, at Kansas State.

Although his four-year tenure as Kansas State's head coach produced one NCAA tournament appearance, Altman will be remembered most for his ability to win close ball games, and for pulling off some of the biggest upsets in school history.

Picked to finish last in the Big Eight, Altman's Wildcats won 11 games in the final minute, earned the school's first Top 25 ranking in five seasons, finished 19–11, reached the championship game of the Big Eight tournament and returned Kansas State to the NCAA tournament for the 21st time.

During his time at Creighton, his athletes earned three All-American honors on the court and three other Academic All-America laurels in the classroom.

Three players he coached at Creighton, Kyle Korver, Rodney Buford, and Anthony Tolliver, have played in the NBA.

Hired on March 31, 1994, Altman inherited a team that posted a 7–22 ledger the year before his arrival and led the Bluejays to a slightly improved 7–19 record in 1994–95 before his 1995–96 squad jumped to 14–15.

On April 2, 2007, Altman announced that he would become the head coach for the Arkansas Razorbacks, in a deal that was rumored to be a $1.5 million per year, 5-year contract.

His prior coaching experience playing against UCLA was one of the main reasons why Oregon recruited him, as the Ducks wanted to improve standings.

Oregon would go on to lose in the Final Four to end what was considered a massively successful season for Altman and the Ducks.

[11] On November 17, 2017, Altman won his 600th career Division I game in a 114–56 Ducks win over Alabama State.

[13] Two weeks later, Altman notched his 235th win at Oregon with a victory over UC Irvine in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, tying Ernie Kent as the winningest coach in school history.
