David Furnell (born June 1874) was an English footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
He then spent a season and a half captaining St Luke's from Beckton before they also folded.
It was towards the end of the 1896–97 season that Furnell, who was already a labourer at the shipbuilding company joined Thames Ironworks, making his debut in the final London League game of the season, a 1–1 draw against Barking Woodville.
He became first choice keeper for the club during the 1897–98 season and helped them win the London League and promotion to the Southern League by keeping clean sheets in five of his ten games.
