Dean Refram (November 8, 1936 – July 28, 1991) was an American professional golfer and golf course architect.

Refram was born in Miami, Florida.[1] He attended Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida, and was a member of the golf team.[2]

Refram played on the PGA Tour in the 1960s and 1970s. He won twice on tour: the 1968 Robinson Open and the 1975 Walt Disney World National Team Championship with Jim Colbert.[3]
