David John Terbrugge (born 31 January 1977) is a former cricketer, who played in seven Test matches and four One Day Internationals for the South Africa national cricket team between 1998 and 2004. A back injury caused his early retirement. Terbrugge bowled right-arm fast-medium deliveries and batted right-handed as a tailender.

Having been a talented player at schoolboy level, Terbrugge was part South Africa's under-19 tour of England in 1995 when he suffered a back injury and had to return home early.[http://www.espncricinfo.com/southafrica/content/player/47541.html David Terbrugge], CricInfo.

He needed an ankle operation in 1999, but again he recovered well and carried on playing for South Africa.

Terbrugge took 4/20 on his ODI debut against Pakistan in 2000 and won the Player of the Match award in a South African win. He took 5/46 against Bangladesh in 2002, his best bowling in a Test match, although he did not play again for the side for a year and a half.[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/7/7514/7514.html David Terbrugge], CricketArchive.
