Dave McAuley, born June 15, 1961 in Larne, Northern Ireland was a professional boxer. During his professional career he held the IBF world title in the Flyweight category.

Alongside Wayne McCullough, McAuley is Northern Ireland's most celebrated boxer of the modern era.

Among his most famous bouts were two brutal encounters with Colombian Fidel Bassa at Belfast's King's Hall. In 1989 McAuley won the IBF title from Duke McKenzie. He successfully defended his title five times, eventually losing it to Rodolfo Blanco in 1992, whom he had beaten two years previously.

McAuley now works as a commentator for Irish television station Radio Telefís Éireann on their boxing coverage.
