David Knox is an Australian former rugby union footballer and coach.
Knox was capped 13 times for Australia and was a member of the 1991 Australian World Cup champion squad. Prior to winning eight First Grade Premiership with Randwick, he lost a Second Grade Premiership to the very strong Eastwood Rugby Club team in 1983.
Knox was regularly the appointed goal kicker in teams he joined, known as "the man for the job."
He also played with Petrarca Padova Rugby (1986–1989) where he won the 1987 National Championship, Rugby Livorno (1990–1992), Bristol Rugby (1998) and Racing Métro 92, Narbonne (1999).
From 1996 he played for the ACT Brumbies, where he subsequently held the position of assistant backs coach, in the Super 12 (now Super Rugby) from 1996-1998 including the 1997 Super 12 season against the Auckland Blues. He also played in the Currie Cup with the Sharks in 1997-1998.
He scored 130 points for the Wallabies, approximately 600 points at provincial level (New South Wales, ACT Brumbies and Sharks) and a club record 2,900 points with Randwick.
