David Thomas Hugh Buchanan (born 6 May 1986) is a footballer who plays for Tranmere Rovers. His cousin is former Lisburn Distillery footballer Wayne Buchanan.

Born in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, Buchanan was called into the Northern Ireland under-19 squad in November 2004 for their match against Italy.

Buchanan was released from Bury at the end of his contract. The club had offered Buchanan a new contract, however after previous failed negotiations and period of no response from the player following a new contract offer, the club sought a replacement player and issued a statement claiming that the club would not be held to ransom over contract negotiations.
