David Pittman (born 23 February 1969) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Pittman debuted with the Adelaide Football Club in 1992, playing as a ruckman. He is sometimes remembered for an incident early in the 1997 season where coach Malcolm Blight labelled his effort "Pathetic" in one particular game. The 1997 season turned out to be one of Pittman's most successful as he moved between centre half-back and the ruck playing an important part in the Crows' premiership side that year.[1]
He also went on to play in the 1998 premiership side. At the end of 1999, Pittman retired having played 131 games for 34 goals.[1]
