David Durand (1680 – 16 January 1763) was a Huguenot French and English minister and historian.
His continuation of Paul de Rapin's History of England (1734) was the most successful of his works.
Although it was written for a French audience, it was the most authoritative history of England for some years.
He also wrote histories of the 16th century, of Classical painting, and a literary work where he attempted a French-language imitation of John Milton's Paradise Lost.
