In matrix models, higher dimensional D-branes are obtained by imposing a noncommutative relation to coordinates of lower dimensional D-branes. On the other hand, a dual description of this noncommutative space is provided by higher dimensional D-branes with gauge fields. Fuzzy spheres can appear as a configuration of lower dimensional D-branes in a constant R-R field strength background. In this paper, we consider a dual description of higher dimensional fuzzy spheres by introducing nonabelian gauge fields on higher dimensional spherical D-branes. By using the Born-Infeld action, we show that a fuzzy $2k$-sphere and spherical D$2k$-branes with a nonabelian gauge field whose Chern character is nontrivial are the same objects when $n$ is large. We discuss a relationship between the noncommutative geometry and nonabelian gauge fields. Nonabelian gauge fields are represented by noncommutative matrices including the coordinate dependence. A similarity to the quantum Hall system is also studied.
