Dave Thomas (born 16 August 1934) is a Welsh golfer.

Thomas spent many years on the pre-European Tour European circuit, winning at least eight tournaments. He represented Great Britain in the Ryder Cup in 1959, 1963, 1965 and 1967, accumulating a 3-10-5 win-loss-half record, including a 0-4-1 record in singles matches.

After retiring he set up a golf course design business. His dozens of original designs include the Brabazon, Derby and PGA National courses at Ryder Cup venue The Belfry, and his redesigns include the Open Championship venue Turnberry.
