Dave Rodger (born 18 June 1955 in Hamilton, New Zealand) is a former New Zealand rower who won an Olympic Silver medal. At the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal he crewed the eight along Tony Hurt, Ivan Sutherland, Trevor Coker, Peter Dignan, Lindsay Wilson, Athol Earl and Alex McLean and Simon Dickie (cox). Rodger was selected for the coxless four to compete at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow but did not go due to the boycott. At the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles he was a member of the eight which finished fourth. Rodger married Dianne (nee Zorn) a leading New Zealand athlete. They were the first husband and wife to compete for New Zealand at the same Olympic Games.
