David Murray Lyon (1819-1903) was a Scottish freemason and amateur historian. He was born in Ayr, the son of a sea captain who drowned in Dublin Harbour in 1821. Lyon was a printer by trade, and for many years was master-printer with the "Ayr Advertiser". He was an enthusiastic amateur local historian, and produced a series of articles for the "Ayr Advertiser". A keen freemason, he was appointed Secretary to the Grand Lodge of Scotland in 1877, and moved to Liberton, on the outskirts of Edinburgh. He wrote a "History of the Grand Lodge of Scotland".
