David "Dave" J. Bright (born 29 November 1949 in England) was an association football player who represented New Zealand gaining 8 A-international caps from 1979 to 1982.[1]

Born in England, Bright emigrated to New Zealand in 1975 and made his first appearance for the All Whites in 1979 in a friendly against Norwich City[2] and his first official match on 29 June 1979 in a 6–0 win over Fiji.[3]

He was a member of the All Whites squad at the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain, where they lost to Scotland, USSR and Brazil.[2]

Bright retired from international football after the World Cup, but returned to New Zealand to continue to play National League for Manurewa and, later, Papatoetoe, before turning his hand to coaching.[2]

His son Kris Bright is a New Zealand international who plays for Shrewsbury Town.
