Dave Harold (born 9 December 1966) is an English professional snooker player.
Soon after turning professional, Harold was the surprise winner of the 1993 Asian Open, beating Darren Morgan 9-3 in the final. Ranked 93rd in the world at the time, he became the lowest-ranked player ever to win a ranking tournament. He never repeated this achievement, although he was a top-16 player in the late 1990s. A broken wrist sustained on New Year's Eve 2003 has seen him drop further down the rankings, out of the top 32, although he had a better 2005/2006 season.
