Dominic "Dim" Montero (January 13, 1918 – December 11, 1980) was an American football coach. After attending Salesianum School in Wilmington, Delaware, Montero played college football for the Pennsylvania Military Cadets and La Salle Explorers before serving in World War II and playing with military service teams; he was a selection to the Little All-America team.
After his time in the military, Montero had coaching stints as an assistant with the Pacific Tigers (1945), at Salesianum (1945) and St. James High School for Boys (1946–1948). He then served as the head coach for the Washington College Shoremen (1949–1950) and King's Monarchs (1951) before resigning. After a brief stint with the VMI Keydets, Montero returned to Salesianum and served as head football coach from 1956 to 1965, being highly decorated while leading the team to several undefeated seasons. He coached as an assistant for the Maryland Terrapins from 1967 to 1972 before retiring.
