Denis John Hutchinson (born 14 March 1932) is a former professional golfer from Zimbabwe who currently lives in South Africa. He played most of his career on the Sunshine Tour finding success, winning five times there between 1959 and 1970.

Hutchinson was born in Umtali, Southern Rhodesia (now Mutare, Zimbabwe), and later moved to Johannesburg, South Africa. He turned professional not long after winning the South African Open Championship as an amateur in 1959. He went on to win the South African PGA Championship in 1970 and the Dunlop South African Masters three times. Outside of South Africa, he won the French Open in 1966.

Hutchinson retired from tournament golf after playing on the South African Seniors Tour in 1999, and has since become considered as the "voice of golf" in South Africa, having been a mainstay of the SuperSport golf commentary team, as well as working internationally for Sky Sports.[1] He is also honorary Life President of the PGA of South Africa.
