David Porter (– August 7, 1893) was an Ontario businessman and political figure. He represented Bruce North in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1891 to 1893 as a Liberal member.

He grew up in Halton County, the son of Irish immigrants. Porter built and operated a sawmill in Amabel Township. In 1884, he married Eliza Chambers. Porter served as reeve for Amabel from 1880 to 1883 and in 1885.
