  David Mark Halligan (4 August 1959 – 13 September 2020) was a New Zealand rugby union player. Primarily a fullback, Halligan represented Otago and Auckland at a provincial level. In 1981, he was selected to play for the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, against the touring Scottish side, but had to withdraw from the team because of injury two days before the first Test at Carisbrook. He was again selected for the All Blacks squad the following year for the three-Test series against Australia, but remained on the bench.
  
  Halligan died in Mount Maunganui on 13 September 2020, aged 61.
