David Goodwillie (born March 28, 1989 in Stirling) is a Scottish footballer who currently plays for Dundee United in the Scottish Premier League.

On March 4, 2006, Goodwillie became the youngest ever player to score an SPL goal when he came off the bench to score for United against Hibernian at Easter Road.

A product of the Dundee United youth system, Goodwillie initially joined the club from Stirling-based boys' club Carse Thistle. He signed as a professional for Dundee United in March 2005, and made his debut for the first team just four months later in the final of the pre-season Discovery Cup tournament against Sheffield Wednesday. His first appearance in a major competitive fixture was against Rangers in December 2005, with his record-breaking goal following in his fifth outing, all having been as a substitute. Goodwillie signed a new contract in October 2006, extending his stay until the end of the 2009-10 season.

Goodwillie has represented Scotland at several youth international levels, and is currently a member of the national Under-19 squad, recently scoring a first half hat-trick against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
