Denis Hilton Streak (born June 21, 1949 in Bulawayo) is a former Zimbabwean first class cricketer and the father of Test player Heath Streak. Apart from playing cricket he also represented Zimbabwe at lawn bowls.

He debuted for Rhodesia during the 1976-77 Currie Cup and toured England in 1985. Streak played domestic cricket with Matabeleland and was 46 when he finally retired. He finished by playing in a Logan Cup final win, in the same side at his son. After retiring he was briefly a Zimbabwean selector.

Streak fell victim to Robert Mugabe's land reform policy in 2001 when his farm was seized and after protesting he ended up imprisoned for a short time.
