David Brooks (1756 – August 30, 1838) was an officer in the Continental Army in the American Revolution and a United States representative from New York.
Brooks was born in Philadelphia in the Province of Pennsylvania and attended the public schools there.
As a parolee, he was not allowed in combat again, so he was appointed assistant clothier general.
In the 19th century, Brooks was appointed as a commissioner to negotiate a treaty with the Seneca people.
Brooks was later appointed an officer in the United States Custom Service.
