David Yurkovich (born 1964) is an independent writer and illustrator of comic books and graphic novels.

Yurkovich began self-publishing in 1996 following receipt of a grant from Peter Laird's (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) acclaimed Xeric Foundation. Titles Yurkovich has written and illustrated include Altercations, Haunted, Death by Chocolate, The S.H.O.P., and The Broccoli Agenda. Largely out of print, Yurkovich's early work is being published in collected volumes by Top Shelf Productions.

In May 2006, Yurkovich began work on the Bill Mantlo Project (a.k.a. The Bill Mantlo Benefit Book), as an homage to Bill Mantlo, whom Yurkovich regards as a major influence. The retrospective, published June 2007 by Sleeping Giant, delves into Mantlo's life and career. It includes interviews with many of Mantlo's former industry colleagues (among them Marv Wolfman, Ed Hannigan, Tony Isabella, and George Pérez) and an introduction by Mantlo's brother Michael Mantlo. Additionally, the project features previously unpublished fiction by Mantlo, some of which was adapted into sequential form by Yurkovich. Yurkovich produced the project as a benefit book; all proceeds were donated to Bill's brother and caregiver Michael Mantlo, to help toward the costs of maintaining Bill's daily care.

In September 2006, Yurkovich, along with writer-poet Dianne Pearce, launched Sleeping Giant Creations, a multi-venture project that includes literary fiction, children's picture books, graphic novels, and editorial and design services.
