Dalton Parry 'Conky' Conyngham (born May 10, 1897, Durban, Natal, died July 7, 1979, Durban, Natal) was a South African cricketer who played in one Test match in 1923.

A right-arm medium-pace bowler, Conyngham took 40 wickets in six matches for the successful Natal side in 1921-22, but then played only spasmodically over the next few seasons, dropping out of the side after 1924-25. He played a few matches from 1926 for Transvaal, one of them in Rhodesia where he made his highest first-class score, and had two further games for Western Province in 1930-31.

In his one Test in the final match of 1922-23 series against the England team under Frank Mann, he scored an unbeaten 3 in each innings and took one wicket in each England innings.
