David Gibson, (March 9, 1804 – January 25, 1864), was a surveyor, farmer and political figure in Upper Canada.

He reluctantly joined the rebellion of 1837 and protected the loyalist prisoners at Montgomery's Tavern from abuse.

In 1853, he was given the post of inspector of crown lands agencies and superintendent of colonization roads in Canada West.

For a time, he also operated a large sawmill in the Parry Sound region, which was later taken over by William Beatty.
