David Pollard (born 2 July 1942, London) is a British writer.

After working in the furniture trade and serving his articles in accountancy, he escaped to the University of Sussex where he was given his three degrees in English Literature, the History of Ideas, and Philosophy.

The last of these, a doctorate, was awarded on his fortieth birthday and was published as 'The Poetry of Keats: Language and Experience' and is a Heideggerian approach to the poet.

Pollard has published five volumes of poetry: patricides, Risk of Skin, Self-Portraits, bedbound, and Finis-terre.
