David "Dave" Lee Coulier (b. September 21, 1959) is an American television and voice actor from Detroit, Michigan, best known for his role as Joey Gladstone on Full House. He was born to a staunchly Catholic family that was rocked by his parents' divorce, which Dave took very hard.

Currently he is a member of Duck's Breath Mystery Theater touring comedy troupe (which he claims is clean comedy, but not quite as wholesome as "Full House"), as well as host of the series Animal Kidding. He also hosted America's Funniest People and Opportunity Knocks.

In addition to Full House, Coulier starred in the children's comedy series Out of Control, and appeared on George and Leo and Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher.

He also appeared in The Even Stevens Movie (where he had a cameo as a game show host) and The Thirteenth Year
. Additionally, he was also a voice actor in Yogi Bear and the Magical Flight of the Spruce Goose.

An avid fan of the Detroit Red Wings, Coulier was a member of the Celebrity All-Stars hockey squad, along with Jason Priestley, Matthew Perry, Alan Thicke, Michael J. Fox, Michael Keaton, and Richard Dean Anderson. He also was part of the 2002 NHL All-Star Celebrity Challenge. Coulier was married for two years to Jayne Modean, and has one son.

He also founded his own children's entertainment company, F3 Entertainment, in 2000.
