Dennis Banks (born June 16, 1959) is a former australian rules footballer who played in the VFL/AFL.

From East Reservoir, Banks was a determined footballer who was good enough to play as a Centre Half Forward, but injuries prevented him from developing into a key position player. He made his debut in 1979 and played in the losing Grand Final side for the Magpies. He was small enough, at only 185cm, to become a fine half-forward with his asset being his great mark. He was a hungry footballer, and at times feared oppositions with his toughness at the ball. In 1984 he won a spot in the All-Australian team.

Banks was a veteran nearing the end of his career in 1990, but played another gutsy season and in the end was a strong competitor, that saw him with a premiership medal around his neck in the drought-breaking Grand Final for Collingwood. He retired in 1991, a year after premiership success.
