David Denton (4 July 1874 – 16 February 1950) was an English first-class cricketer.An attacking batsman, he had a long career with Yorkshire and played eleven Tests for England.
His nickname of 'Lucky' came from his habit of surviving the numerous chances that his attacking batting style created for the opposition.
He was a fine deep fielder, and was said to be an excellent judge of a high catch, but did little bowling: his only really significant contribution with the ball came in 1896, when he took 5–42 against South of England.
He also had one first-class stumping to his name, against Cambridge University in 1905.
