David Wittey (born 10 April 1966) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda and the Sydney Swans in the Victorian/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL).
Wittey, a half back from Old Brighton Grammarians, made his debut in the opening round of the 1986 VFL season against Footscray and had 17 disposals.[2] He went on to appear in St Kilda's first 15 games of the year before losing his place in the side.[2] In the 1987 pre-season he was involved in an incident with teammate Tony Lockett, while playing a practise match. Wittey was struck with a round-arm punch to the head from Lockett and the full-forward was put on report by the goal umpire.[3]
He was selected by the Brisbane Bears in the 1989 Pre-season Draft but didn't play a senior game for the club.[4] The following season he was drafted by Sydney and made his only appearance in round 11 of the 1990 AFL season.[2]
