Druck (Druk) David (Dawid) (1883, Kreitzburg, Vitebsk Governorate – 1943, New York) — publicist.

In 1905, David Druk moved to Warsaw and became an active contributor to the newspaper Der Weg, founded by Z. Prilutsky. He published widely in various periodicals. From 1920 onward, he resided in the United States, where he worked for the Morgn Journal. Among his notable serialized publications were The Life Story of Mendel Beilis, Baron Edmond Rothschild in Eretz Israel, Moses Montefiore, Jewish Scholars in America, and others.

He authored several books, including Toward a History of the Jewish Press (Warsaw, 1920) and Commentators of the Torah (Warsaw, 1936–1937).
