Dermot K. Weld (born 29 July 1948), a former jockey is one of Ireland's most successful racehorse trainers. He holds the record for the most winners trained in Ireland (2,578 set in August 2000).

Weld maintains his stable, Rosewell House, in Curragh, Ireland. He is married, with two sons.

Irish bookmakers, Paddy Power, tried to launch a campaign to change the name of the Galway Races to the Dermot Weld Retirement Fund Races; however, it proved to be unsuccessful.

He was played by Brendan Gleeson in the feature film The Cup.
