Bodder David Pablo (also rendered as Bouder or Dovid) (born 9 November 1886, Libava – died 18 December 1961, Los Angeles) – psychologist.

David Bodder studied at a Teacher's College in Vilna and, from 1901 to 1905, attended the University of Leipzig, where he studied alongside Wilhelm Wundt and Vladimir Bekhterev. In 1912, he graduated from the Psychoneurological Institute in Saint Petersburg.

In 1917, Bodder emigrated to Mexico, where he led psychological research in penal institutions. In 1926, he moved to the United States. He received a Master’s degree in Psychology in 1927 and a Doctorate in Psychology in 1934.

His research focused on intellectual psychology, neuropsychology, military psychology, and disaster psychology. From 1937 to 1957, he served as Executive Director of the Museum of Psychology in Chicago. A member of several international scientific societies, he was the author of numerous scholarly articles.

In 1946, he travelled to Europe to record interviews with former inmates of concentration camps and ghettos in France, Italy, Germany, and Switzerland. More than 100 interviews were collected, representing the first recorded testimonies of Holocaust survivors.
