David Amsalem (Hebrew: דוד אמסלם; born on 4 September 1971 in Israel) is an Israeli footballer currently the captain of Beitar Jerusalem.
He started his career with Bnei Yehuda and then joined Hapoel Tel Aviv whom he played for during the 1994-1995 season. He became the second Israeli to join Crystal Palace following Itzik Zohar who left just as Amsalem was signing.
Terry Venables signed Amsalem from Beitar Jerusalem for £800,000 in 1998 via a third party at a time when Amsalem was captain of the Israeli national side. Controversy surrounded his signing as there were claims the money never reached Beitar. Beitar chairman Ehud Federman said that his contract had run out and had left the club on a free transfer.
He played for Beitar for three seasons 1995-1998. He started six games for the Eagles and played in a total of ten games for them. He was released from Palace in 1999 and joined Hapoel Haifa who he played for until the end of the 2000-2001 season.
He rejoined Beitar Jerusalem in 2001 and played there the next five seasons.
