David Dason Loverne (born May 22, 1976) is an American former professional football guard.

Loverne was also a member of the Washington Redskins, St. Louis Rams, Detroit Lions and Houston Texans.

Loverne did not begin playing football until high school after his mother reportedly insisted he take up sports in order to stay out of trouble.

His football team, De La Salle High School, was named national champion in five different years on a winning streak which began when Loverne played there as an offensive and defensive lineman his junior year.

On March 1, 2003, he was traded to the St. Louis Rams for running back Trung Canidate and a 2003 fourth-round pick.
