Dave Bennett (born 1977) is an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Waterford senior team.
Bennett joined the team during the 1994-95 National League and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 2008 championship.
After enjoying many victories in various juvenile and under-age grades, Bennett broke onto the senior team as seventeen-year-old.
2008 began poorly for Waterford as the team lost their opening game to Clare as well as their manager Justin McCarthy.
In spite of this poor start Bennett's side reached the All-Ireland final for the first time in forty-five years.
