David William Royce Cass (born 27 March 1962 in Forest Gate, London) is an English former footballer who played as a goalkeeper, most notably for Leyton Orient.

Whilst working as a carpenter and playing in non-league football with Billericay Town, Cass was signed by Orient as cover for first-choice keeper Peter Wells in March 1987.^[1] The following month, Wells broke his leg and Cass was called up to replace him. He played seven games for Orient before the end of the 1986–87 season and kept a clean sheet in the 3–0 victory over Cambridge United,^[2] though Orient narrowly missed out on the Fourth Division promotion play-offs.

In 1988, after an unsuccessful trial with Colchester United, Cass returned to non-league football with Billericay.^[1]
