David K. Oakley (April 27, 1945 – July 2, 2006) was an American professional golfer whose greatest success came on the European Seniors Tour.

He got started in golf by his mother, who thought a nine-hole course near their home would make a fine babysitter for Oakley and his brother.

[1] As a Gator golfer, he was a member of teams that won Southeastern Conference (SEC) championships in 1965 and 1967.

In 1976, he stopped working as a touring professional to concentrate on a business career unrelated to golf.

He was fifth on the European Seniors Tour career money list at one point.
