David McNarry (born 25 May 1948) is a former Northern Irish unionist politician and Ulster Loyalist representative who served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Strangford from 2003 to 2016.

He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Ulster Unionist Party in the 1982 Northern Ireland Assembly election, when he stood in North Down.

McNarry was his party's candidate for Strangford at the 2001 general election, following the incumbent MP, John Taylor, retiring.

The new leader Mike Nesbitt commented publicly that he was unlikely to offer McNarry the UUP whip on completion of the suspension.

The party also received 24,584 (3.9%) first preference votes in the 2014 European election in Northern Ireland and although they failed to win a seat, this was a significant electoral performance.

At the September 2014 UKIP national conference in Doncaster, McNarry delivered a keynote speech which was warmly received by delegates.

[10] Under McNarry's stewardship, councillors from the DUP,[11][12] TUV,[13] and a former UUP Belfast Lord Mayor, Bob Stoker, defected to the party.

Prior to the 2016 Northern Ireland Assembly election, McNarry announced his intention to retire from front-line politics.
