David Mackay (born 25 July 1988) is an Australian rules footballer. He was drafted by the Adelaide Football Club at pick number 48 in the 2006 AFL Draft and has been given Guernsey number 14. He came from Melbourne side, Oakleigh Chargers and appeared in the 2006 Victorian U/18 Metro side where he was inspirational in the grand final. He attended Trinity Grammar School, noted for producing star footballers including Wayne Schwass and Luke Power, and was House Captain of the school's Hindley House. Fellow 2006 draft pick Todd Goldstein was vice-captain of the same house.

Mackay's first season was one to forget. 2007 started promisingly with a superb performance in the SANFL reserves seeing him rewarded with senior SANFL selection, where he again impressed. However, early in his second match he tore his hamstring, an injury that recurred throughout the year and prevented him prom playing another game.

Mackay made his debut for Adelaide during round one of the 2008 Premiership season in their loss to the Western Bulldogs. His first goal in AFL football came in his thirteenth match, in round 17 against the Sydney Swans, with a snap from the top of the goalsquare. Despite being a first-year player, Mackay became known as one of the most reliable players in the team, slotting nicely into the Crows' young midfield.

After missing only four games in his debut season, Mackay played every game in 2009 barring three weeks late in the season, when he was sidelines by an injury. His pace, precise kicking and judgment have made him, even at his young age, a vital cog in the Crows' midfield.
