David Lloyd (1656 – April 6, 1731) was an American lawyer and politician from Chester, Pennsylvania.

In 1698, probably as a punishment for the conflict with the council, he was removed as Attorney General and replaced by John Moore.

There was disagreement over interpretation if the Charter gave control of the province to the assembly or the proprietor (governor).

James Logan, Penn's loyal secretary, believed the Proprietor to be the center of power and mobilized those who agreed with him into the Proprietary party.

Lloyd believed the assembly to be the center of provincial power, became the leader of the Popular party and fought for thirty years to make his viewpoint a reality.

[13] The house became the location of Jackson's Pyrotechnic Manufactory and on the evening of February 17, 1882 caught fire and a large stock of fireworks exploded, destroying the home, killing eighteen people and wounding fifty-seven other.

[14] Lloyd died April 6, 1731, in Chester, Pennsylvania and is interred at old St. Paul's Church burial ground.
