David Cazès (1851, Tétouan, Morocco – 1913) was a Moroccan Jewish educator and writer.

Sent to Paris in his early youth, Cazès was educated by the Alliance Israélite Universelle,[1] and at the age of 18 was commissioned to establish and direct several primary schools in the East; namely, at Volos in Thessaly (1869), at Smyrna (1873), and at Tunis (February 1878–1893).

The French government in 1886 awarded him academic laurels, and in 1889 the rosette of Chevalier of the Legion of Honour.

[4] He was the author of many works regarding the Jewish diaspora in Northern Africa, including: The latter book was one which gave an exact picture of the literary life of the Jews of Tunis.

He also contributed a large number of articles to the Revue des Etudes Juives and other Jewish periodicals.
