Dean Rock (born 26 February 1990) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who was a senior member of the Dublin county team from 2013 to 2023. He represented Dublin at all grades, minor, junior, under-21 and senior, and is a noted free taker who scored the winning point from a free in the 2017 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final. Colm O'Rourke has described him as statistically the best free taker that has been to Croke Park. Born in Ballymadun, Garristown, into a family with a strong association with Gaelic football, his great-grandfather, grandfather and granduncle all worked as groundsmen at Croke Park, and his father Barney Rock is an All-Ireland medal winner with Dublin. He attended the Catholic University School, where he played rugby union because there was no Gaelic football team, and came to prominence with the Ballymun Kickhams club, making his senior debut in 2008, since when he has won one Leinster medal and two county senior championship medals.
