Todd Dunivant (born December 26, 1980 in Wheat Ridge, Colorado) is an American soccer defender, who currently plays for Toronto FC in Major League Soccer.

Dunivant played college soccer at Stanford University from 1999 to 2002. As a sophomore, he set a school record for assists by a defender with nine, and was named first-team All Pac-10. Dunivant went on to register six goals and seven assists as a junior, and two goals and 11 assists as a senior, being named first-team All Pac-10 both years, as well as a first-team All-American as a senior. Dunivant also played several years for the Boulder Rapids Reserve team in the Premier Development League.

Upon graduating, Dunivant was selected sixth overall in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft by his local team, the San Jose Earthquakes. The Earthquakes had an opening at Dunivant's left back position due to Wade Barrett's departure to Denmark, but Dunivant ably took his place, starting all 30 of the team's games that year, while scoring one goal and six assists, as the Quakes won the MLS Cup. Unfortunately, Dunivant suffered a quadriceps injury in the preseason of 2004, which caused him trouble throughout the year. He was only able to play in 16 games, registering no points. He was traded to Los Angeles in the off-season in a four-player deal and played every minute for the team as they won the MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup double. Dunivant was eventually traded to the New York Red Bulls, where he made 22 appearances during the 2006 season.

Dunivant was acquired by expansion side Toronto FC on June 27, 2007, in a trade for Kevin Goldthwaite. Dunivant played 18 games for Toronto in his first season, all of them starts. Dunivant has played extensively at left midfield due to Toronto's lack of attacking talent.

Dunivant got his first cap for the United States on January 29, 2006, against Norway.
