David Bergman (born c. 1965) is a British investigative journalist. Bergman has worked for Bangladeshi and British newspapers. He was first known in Bangladesh for his reporting on war crimes committed during the Bangladesh Liberation War. An investigative documentary on the subject he worked as a reporter and researcher for British television in 1995 won an award. Twenty years later, he was convicted of contempt of court by Bangladesh's special war crimes tribunal in 2015 for contradicting the official death toll of the war. Bergman has also contributed to The New York Times and Foreign Policy.

Bergman is a editor and contributor to Netra News, a Bangladeshi news website funded by National Endowment for Democracy, a non-government, bipartisan, US-based organisation, funded by the US Congress and based in Sweden. He was interviewed for the Al Jazeera documentary All the Prime Minister's Men, which the Bangladesh Ministry of Foreign Affairs called a "smear campaign".

Bergman was the executive director of the Centre for Corporate Accountability, which promoted the enactment of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 in the United Kingdom.
