Dennis Constable (14 August 1925 – November 2011) is a former English cricketer. Constable was a right-handed batsman who fielded as a wicket-keeper. He was born at East Molesey, Surrey.

The younger brother of Surrey cricketer Bernie Constable, Dennis made two first-class appearances for Northamptonshire in 1949 against Leicestershire and the touring New Zealanders, both at the County Ground, Northampton.[1] In the match against Leicestershire he scored 8 runs in Northamptonshire's first-innings, before being dismissed by Gerry Lester, while in their second-innings he wasn't required to bat. In Leicestershire's first-innings he took two catches and in their second he followed up with another catch and a stumping.[2] Against the New Zealanders, Constable batted at number eleven in Northamptonshire's first-innings, being dismissed for 12 by Ces Burke thanks to a stumping off his bowling by Frank Mooney. In their second-innings he wasn't required to bat. He took a single catch in the New Zealanders first-innings and followed that up with another in their second.[3]
