David Stringer (born 15 October 1944) is an English former footballer and manager of Norwich City.
As a player, he won the fans' vote to be Norwich City player of the year in 1972, the same year that they won promotion to the First Division for the first time, as Second Division champions, and made a total of 499 appearances for the club.
He saved Norwich from relegation that season, and in his first full season (1988–89) Norwich emerged as an unlikely contender for the league title and FA Cup; they finished fourth in the league and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
Norwich reached another FA Cup semi-final in 1992, narrowly avoided relegation that season.
During his management, Norwich had one of its most successful spells but never again would he hold another managerial position; he returned to Carrow Road as a member of the coaching staff.
