Deich (Deitch) David Lvovich (born 17 June 1910, Riga – date and place of death unknown) – retail worker.

During the First World War, David Deich was evacuated with his family to Michurinsk, Tambov Oblast. After completing primary school, he worked as a cloth shop assistant and inventory specialist in Riga from 1925 to 1941. In 1938, he completed 10 years of evening Jewish school.

During the Second World War (1941–45), he was evacuated to the Lenin kolkhoz in Jizzakh, Samarkand Oblast, Uzbek SSR, where he served as a team leader. From 1945 to 1952, he worked as a merchandiser at the Republican “Glavtekstilsbyt” base in Riga. Between 1953 and 1961, he was a storekeeper at Warehouse No. 1 of a multi-industry combine. In 1961, he worked as a storekeeper at the “Dzintars” restaurant in Jūrmala. From 1961 to 1968, he was manager of Store No. 37 of Riga’s 2nd City Trade Department, and from 1968 to 1971, he managed the special orders desk at the Riga store of the Latvian Republican Office “Latsnabtorg”.

His father was Leib Rafailovich Deich (1867–1938, Riga), and his mother was Dina Yankelovna Deich (1876, Ilūkste District – 1920, Moscow).
