David Richard Riske (/ˈrɪski/ RIS-kee; born October 23, 1976) is a former Major League Baseball relief pitcher.

In January 2006, he was traded along with outfielder Coco Crisp, and catcher Josh Bard to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for reliever Guillermo Mota, third baseman Andy Marte, and catcher Kelly Shoppach.

Riske was traded on June 15 of that year to the Chicago White Sox for minor league pitcher Javier López.

Theo Epstein commented that Riske was traded because the Red Sox had too many right-handed relievers, and needed a left-hander like Lopez.

Riske played a minor role with the Red Sox in 2006, mainly appearing in blow-out games before being traded.
