David Allen Zubik (/ˈzuːbɪk/ ZOO-bik; born September 4, 1949) is an American Catholic prelate who has served as Bishop of Pittsburgh since 2007.

Zubik continued his studies at St. Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore, Maryland, earning a Master of Divinity degree in 1975.

He received his episcopal consecration on April 6, 1997, from Wuerl, with Bishops Nicholas Dattilo and Thomas Tobin serving as co-consecrators, at St. Paul Cathedral.

[10][11] In April 2009, Zubik held a Service of Apology at St. Paul Cathedral, where he begged the "forgiveness of anyone hurt by the Church... in any way.

[14] Zubik in 2010 handed off the case of Reverend David Dzermejko to the Vatican after a diocese review board found credible allegations of child sexual abuse against him.

[16] In 2018, after the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh that left 12 people dead, Zubik strongly condemned anti-Semitism and called for prayers for the victims.

[18] The plaintiffs claimed that Wuerl had broken a promise he made in 1994 not to reassign Reverend Leo Burchianti to another parish.

However, Wuerl and Zubik gave Burchianti a voluntary work assignment at St. John Vianney Manor, a home for retired priests.

[19][20][21] In November 2023, Zubik underwent back surgery to correct collapsing discs, the sixth such procedure he has had.

[24] In response, Zubik said that neither he or Wuerl attempted to cover up sexual abuse allegations:"The Diocese of Pittsburgh is not the church described in the report.

That means that the report ignores 30 years of reforms and actions to protect children and identify and remove abusing priests from ministry."

[3] Zubik in 2009 described the University of Notre Dame's decision to have President Barack Obama deliver its commencement speech and receive an honorary degree as "painful" and "embarrassing," Zubik said that Obama was "the single most outspoken pro-abortion president since the issue was foisted upon the country by the Supreme Court.

[27] Zubik in February 2017 released a statement calling on Catholics to put aside fears of immigrants and refugees.
