Denis Dalton (born 10 October 1942) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1960s.
An Old Paradian, Dalton was used mostly as a rover in his two seasons at Collingwood. He appeared in the 1964 VFL Grand Final and kicked a goal from the forward pocket, in a four point loss.
He was also a very good bowls player and won a bronze medal at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane for the Men's Pairs, with Peter Rheuben. It was the same Commonwealth Games where another former VFL player, Bob Edmond, won a silver medal for weightlifting.
