Dwight Tiendalli is a Dutch football player who currently features for the Premier League club Swansea City. He plays as a full-back.

Tiendalli commenced his professional club football career at Dutch club Utrecht in 2005 and was on their books until 2006, scoring three goals in 41 league appearances. Thereafter, Feyenoord signed him but he failed to establish himself at the Rotterdam club.

Twente came calling in 2009 and Tiendalli became a star performer for them. He won the Eredivisie title in 2009-10 and the Johan Cruijff Schaal in 2010 and 2011.

After three years at Twente during which he scored one goal in 71 league appearances, Tiendalli joined Swansea in September 2012 on a free transfer. However, he has failed to play regularly under manager Michael Laudrup at the Liberty Stadium.

Tiendalli played 13 times for the Netherlands Under-21 side between 2005 and 2007, but has yet to make his debut for the senior team.
