David John Abruzzese (born 8 October 1969 in Aberdare, Wales) is a Welsh former professional footballer. He represented Wales at Youth level.
Abruzzese, a full-back, joined Newport County in 1986, playing 25 times in Newport's final two seasons in the Football League. In 1988, after County's second successive relegation and the club in financial ruin, he joined Torquay United, but left to join Merthyr Tydfil without making the Torquay first team.
He subsequently moved to Barry Town and in the 2001-02 and 2004-05 seasons was playing for ENTO Aberaman. He was appointed as manager in June 2004, but had left by the start of the 2005-06 season.
