David 'Davy' Glennon (born 5 February 1991[1]) is an Irish hurler who currently plays for Westmeath[2] having previously played for the Galway senior team. He continues to play with his club Mullagh.

He came on as a substitute in the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final against Kilkenny.[3] In 2016 he publicly admitted he had a serious gambling addiction, which had led to problems with the law, his family and hurling, and even to him contemplating ending his own life.[4]

On 3 September 2017, Glennon was a non playing substitute for Galway as they won their first All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship in 29 years against Waterford.[5][6]

On 17 July 2021, Glennon helped Westmeath win the Joe McDonagh Cup for the first time at Croke Park after a 2-28 to 1-24 win over Kerry.[7]
