Dave Paulsen ((1964-09-14)September 14, 1964) is an American college basketball coach and the current head men's basketball coach at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.^[1] He took the post after spending eight years as the head coach at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts. He has also coached at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, and Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York.

At Williams, he won the 2003 Division III title, and finished as national runner up in 2004. Paulsen was twice named Division III Coach of the Year during his time at Williams.

Paulsen led the Bison to a disappointing 7–23 record in his first year at Bucknell.

In his third year, Paulsen was named Patriot League Coach of the Year en route to leading his team to a 25-8 record heading into the NCAA tournament, including a 13-1 record in the Patriot League, culminating in both the regular season and Patriot League tournament championships.
