David Kindt (1580 – 26 February 1652) was a German painter in the Baroque style; known primarily for portraits and religious works.
His father was the painter Johan, or Jan, Kindt (died 1608), who had fled from religious persecution in the Duchy of Brabant.
Kindt must have had a busy workshop, however, as he was able to support two other apprentices; Bastian Kerch, also forgotten, and Conradt (Cordt) Weyer (died 1628), who is known only from his address in municipal documents.
The following year saw him involved in a restoration project at the Maria-Magdalenen-Kloster (now the Hospital zum Heiligen Geist [de]), where he worked on two paintings of Adolf IV of Holstein; one showing him in full armor and the other as a monk in a sarcophagus.
In 1631, he received a commission for four life-size portraits of Frederick III, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp and his wife, Duchess Marie Elisabeth of Saxony, which necessitated spending several months at Schloss Gottorf in Schleswig.
