Colonel Dennis Edward Francis Waight MC (15 February 1895 – October 1984) was a British Army professional infantryman. After being decorated for valor while serving as a fusilier early in World War I, he flew in combat as an aerial observer until war's end. No details of his transfer and training are known; however, he was credited with 12 aerial victories, making him a flying ace.

He continued in service both at home and in India through, and beyond, World War II, finally being retired from service postwar for age.
