David Stanley Payne (born 11 August 1944) is an English saxophonist best known as a member of Ian Dury's backing band The Blockheads, and for his twin saxophone solo on their 1978 UK No.

According to Pete Frame's Rock Family Trees, Payne grew up in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex and started playing the clarinet because of his enjoyment of Dixieland jazz.

On hearing swing, bebop and Dexter Gordon in the 1960s he moved to London, and began taking lessons and going to jazz clubs.

He thereafter returned to Clacton; he played two gigs with Ronnie Lane, and a few with The Fabulous Poodles.

He left the band in August 1998 but returned for an exclusive performance of New Boots And Panties!!
