Dennis Breakwell (born 2 July 1948) is a former English first-class cricketer who made over 400 appearances between 1969 and 1984 playing for Northamptonshire and Somerset.
A left-handed batsman and slow left-arm orthodox bowler, Breakwell developed into an all-rounder as his career progressed, and he featured in a series of strong Somerset sides alongside Viv Richards, Joel Garner and Ian Botham, rooming with the latter in his early days at the club.
Following the end of his playing career he became groundsman at King's College, Taunton coaching among others England batsman Jos Butler and Somerset's Alex Barrow. Breakwell is best remembered for being hit for six consecutive sixes by South African all-rounder Mike Procter in the Gloucestershire versus Somerset County Championship match at Taunton on the 27th of August, 1979.
