David Wall (born 3 September 1947) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Originally from West Heidelberg, Wall played much of his football as a forward.^[1] He topped Fitzroy's goal-kicking in 1974 with 35 goals.^[2]

He played at Northcote after leaving Fitzroy but was forced into retirement when he twice suffered concussion in the space of three games.^[3] On one occasion during the Centenary Cup in 1977 against Yarraville, Northcote brought his replacement onto the ground before Wall had been taken off on a stretcher; Yarraville called for a head count, and Northcote's score was cancelled.^[4]
