David Di Michele (Italian pronunciation: ; born 6 January 1976) is an Italian football manager and former player in the role of striker, most recently in charge as head coach of Lega Pro club Lupa Roma.

Throughout his playing career, he played for several Italian clubs, and also had a spell on loan with English side West Ham United. At international level, he played six matches for the Italy national football team from 2005 to 2006.

At international level, Di Michele made six appearances for the Italy national football team between 2005 and 2006. He made his senior debut for Italy on 30 March 2005, at the age of 29, under coach Marcello Lippi, in a 0–0 friendly home draw against Iceland. He made his final appearance for Italy on 6 September 2006, under Roberto Donadoni, in a 3–1 away loss to France in a European qualifier.

Di Michele retired in December 2015 to switch to a non-playing staff role at his latest club Lupa Roma. In April 2016, he was named new joint head coach of the club, together with Angelo Quinzi, in place of Alessandro Cucciari.

He was successively confirmed as head coach for the new season, but successively dismissed in October 2016 due to poor results. He was then re-hired one month later by a new club management who took over from former president Alberto Cerrai. He left the club by the end of the 2016–17 season after failing to save the team from relegation.

In 2018, Di Michele joined Frosinone as a youth coach in charge of the Under-17 team. He left Frosinone in July 2022.
