Dennis William Soga (13 May 1917 — 22 September 2003) was a South African first-class cricketer and rugby union player.

The son of the physician Alexander Robert Bogue Soga,[1] he was born in May 1917 at Elliotdale, Cape Province. With family connections to Scotland, Soga was educated there at Selkirk High School.[2] Playing his club cricket for Selkirk, Soga was selected to play for the Scottish cricket team against Ireland at Edinburgh in 1936.[3] Batting from the middle order, he was dismissed in the Scottish first innings for a single run by James Graham, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 24 runs by Eddie Ingram.[4] In addition to playing cricket, Soga also played rugby union for Selkirk RFC.[5] Soga later returned to South Africa, where he became a dentist. He died there at East London in September 2003. His great-grandfather was Tiyo Soga, the first black South African to be ordained.[1]
