Dennis Thwaites (born 14 December 1944) is an English former professional footballer who played as an outside left.
Born in Stockton-on-Tees, Thwaites first appeared in Birmingham City's first team as a 16-year-old in September 1961. He turned professional in May 1962 and played several games in the First Division at the start of the 1962–63 season while Bertie Auld was injured. However he never became a regular first-team player, and suffered badly from nerves while playing. His last appearance for the first team came in the 1971–72 season, and he retired from professional football in 1972 at the relatively young age of 27.
