David Walsh is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who plays for Naomh Bríd and also, formerly, for the Donegal county team.

A member of the Donegal panel that won the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final against Mayo, he came on as a substitute in the second half of the game in place of Ryan Bradley.[2][3][4]

He injured his shoulder in a club championship match in October 2012 but returned to training ahead of the 2013 Ulster Championship.[5]

In January 2017, Walsh retired from the inter-county game.[6]
