David Howie (15 July 1886 – 1930) was a Scottish professional footballer who played mainly as an inside left.^[2]

Born in Galston, East Ayrshire, he started his career in his hometown with Galston Athletic in the junior leagues.

Howie continued to play for the club for the next 14 seasons, although he missed four years of his career due to the First World War. His brother James was also a footballer who played for Kilmarnock, as well as for Newcastle United and Scotland.^[3]
