David Allan Bromley (May 4, 1926 – February 10, 2005) was a Canadian-American physicist, academic administrator and science advisor to President George H. W.

[1] His field of research was the study of low-energy nuclear reactions and structure using heavy ion beams.

Before being appointed under the Bush Cabinet, he was a member of President Ronald Reagan's White House Science Council.

While serving as Bush's science advisor from 1989 to 1993, he pushed for major increases in scientific research funding so that the United States could compete with Japan and Germany in manufacturing.

During the final negotiation, Bromley, urged by White House Chief of Staff John Sununu, convinced the conference to abandon the commitment to freeze emissions.
