Dennis Sullivan (28 January 1883 – 28 December 1968) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Surrey and Glamorgan from 1914 to 1928.[1] A wicketkeeper, he also represented Wales in first-class cricket.

Dennis Sullivan did not establish himself in the first-class game until he became Glamorgan's wicket-keeper in 1924, when he was 41. He continued as Glamorgan's chief wicket-keeper until 1928. He also made two first-class tours of Jamaica in 1926/27 and 1927/28 in teams led by Lionel Tennyson.[2]

Sullivan's son Les became a footballer.[3]
