Dean Arthur Edward Cox (born 12 August 1987 in Cuckfield, West Sussex) is an English professional footballer, currently playing for Leyton Orient. Cox primarily plays as a winger, but can also play in an attacking midfield role.

Cox made his debut for Brighton during a 2–0 victory over Plymouth Argyle on 29 August 2005.^[1] During the 2005-06 season, Cox also spent time on loan at Eastbourne Borough, featuring twice in their run in the FA Cup. Cox's next appearance for Brighton was on the first day of the 2006/07 League One season in the 1–0 victory away at Rotherham United, although he was sent-off during this match for receiving two yellow cards.^[2] Cox played a major part during his debut season in the first-team playing in 43 League games and scoring 6 goals.^[3]

In the summer of 2007, Cox was rewarded for his fine start to his Albion career by being handed the number 7 shirt, previously occupied by Alexandre Frutos.

After falling out of favour at Brighton, Cox was informed that he would be released from his contract when it expires on 30 June 2010.^[4]

Cox was later signed by Leyton Orient on 2 June 2010.^[5] He scored his first league goal for The O's in the 3-0 triumph over Exeter City, on 28 August 2010.^{[citation needed]}
