Dave Dunaway (January 19, 1945 – March 12, 2001) was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL).

Dunaway was an outstanding high school football player in Jacksonville, North Carolina.

He was cut by the Falcons late in the 1969 preseason, and was briefly on the Washington Redskins taxi squad, before signing with the New York Giants.

It came on a successful fake punt that helped lead the Giants on a 4th quarter game-winning drive against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
