Neal Patrick Dunn (born February 16, 1953) is an American surgeon and politician from the state of Florida. A Republican, Dunn is the U.S. Representative for Florida's 2nd congressional district.

Dunn was born in New Haven, Connecticut on February 16, 1953. He studied Interdisciplinary Sciences at Washington and Lee University where he received his bachelor of science. He then graduated from the George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences and completed his medical internship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He served in the United States Army for eleven years of active duty service, reaching the rank of Major. He then settled in Panama City, Florida, where he helped found the Panama City Urological Center, the Panama City Surgery Center, and was the founding chairman of Summit Bank.

In August 2015, Dunn announced his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives for Florida's 2nd congressional district in the 2016 elections. The district's one-term incumbent, Democrat Gwen Graham, opted to retire after a court-ordered redistricting made the district heavily Republican. He won the Republican Party nomination, defeating attorneys Lathika (Mary) Thomas and Ken Sukhia. He defeated Walter Dartland in the general election. He was sworn into the House of Representatives on January 3, 2017.
