David Paul Fry (born 5 January 1960 in Bournemouth, England) is a former professional football goalkeeper. He began his career at Weymouth as an amateur, playing from 1974 to 1976. In January 1977 he signed for Crystal Palace, initially serving as a backup to John Burridge and then Paul Barron. He became Palace’s first-choice keeper in the second half of the 1982–83 season after Barron left.

In July 1983 he moved to Gillingham, where he played until 1985, and then joined Torquay United for the 1985–1986 season. He later played non-league football for Cheltenham Town, Fisher Athletic, and Yeovil Town in the Football Conference, before signing for Salisbury City in 1992.

A notable moment from his career: in April 1991 he scored with a wind-assisted drop kick for Yeovil in a 7–2 win over Slough Town.
