David Nairne (August 1655 – 1740), also known as Sir David Nairne, Baronet, was a Scottish Jacobite who served at the courts of the exiled Stuart kings James II and James Francis Edward Stuart in France.
Nairne followed James II into exile following the Jacobite defeat in the War of the Two Kings and became his servant at Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
From 1689 to 1713 he served as Under Secretary of State at various intervals, becoming a central figure in the administration of Jacobite politics.
The survival of his papers and correspondence provide a comprehensive account of the exiled Jacobite court in France.
