David Gilliland Latta (June 6, 1869 – November 11, 1948) was a politician in Alberta, Canada and a municipal councillor in Edmonton.

He settled briefly in Ontario before moving to Whitemouth, Manitoba, where he joined the North-West Mounted Police in 1890.

In 1905, Latta was appointed to Edmonton City Council to complete the term of Kenneth McLeod, who had resigned.

He served until the 1906 municipal election, in which he did not run, and did not return to politics thereafter, disillusioned by the bickering of his fellow council members.

Latta shifted his focus to selling blacksmith supplies wholesale after many of his staff enlisted to fight in World War I.
