David Albert Skrien (April 4, 1929 – November 30, 2010) was a Canadian Football League player and coach.
From there he served as an assistant at Ball State and Minnesota before returning to the CFL as the BC Lions backfield coach in 1959.
With journalist Dick Beddoes, he wrote the book "Countdown to Grey Cup" which chronicled the 1964 championship season.
After the World Football League folded, Skiren returned to his native Minnesota to coach Golden Valley Lutheran College.
Skrien died in a nursing home in Mound, Minnesota, on November 30, 2010, due to complications from Alzheimer's disease.
