David William 'Dave' Garlick (1887-1964) was a pioneer Australian rugby league player from the 1910s.

Dave Garlick was born to parents Richard and Jessie Garlick in Melbourne, Victoria in 1887. The family had moved to Sydney in the early 1900s and Dave Garlick was brought up in a house at Glebe Point Road, Glebe, New South Wales. A convert from the Glebe rugby union ranks, Dave Garlick turned out for the Glebe Dirty Reds in 1911 and played four seasons between 1911-1914. In his first year in first grade, Dave Garlick was 1911's top try scorer with 13 tries from 16 games. Garlick's best year was 1912, when he represented Sydney (Metropolis) on two occasions, and represented New South Wales in one match, also in 1912.[1]

Garlick returned to play one last season with the North Sydney Bears in 1919 before retiring from the game aged 32.

Dave Garlick died at his Forestville, New South Wales home on 19 June 1964, aged 77.[2]
