Dennis Espino (born December 20, 1973 in Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines) is a professional basketball player in the Philippine Basketball Association who last played for the Powerade Tigers and is now serving them as team ambassador. He was drafted first overall by Sta. Lucia in 1995.

Player Profile

Espino, a 6-foot-6 banger who loves to play physically, is a cornerstone of the Sta. Lucia franchise. Being a Realtor since his rookie year, he has helped the team win two PBA championships. After playing under the shadows of Jun Limpot for seven years, Dennis Espino became the heart-and-soul of Sta. Lucia when his celebrated teammate was sent to Ginebra via a trade with Marlou Aquino in 2000. The former UAAP MVP showed signs that he is capable of the responsibility after braving the role as the team's go-to-guy. In 2009, after playing 14 years with the team, Sta. Lucia traded him to the Coca-Cola Tigers. In 2011, Powerade Tigers traded him to Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters

He also played for the Philippine Centennial Team in 1998.
