David Dellinger (August 22, 1915 - May 25, 2004), one of the most influential American radicals of the 20th century, was a pacifist and activist for nonviolent social change.

In 1956, he and A. J. Muste founded Liberation (magazine), as a forum for the non-Maxist left, similar to Dissent (magazine).

Dellinger had contacts and friendships with such diverse individuals as Eleanor Roosevelt, Ho Chi Minh, Martin Luther King, Jr., Abbie Hoffman, A.J. Muste, Greg Calvert, David McReynolds and numerous Black Panthers, including Fred Hampton, whom he greatly admired. As chairman of the Fifth Avenue Vietnam Peace Parade Committee he worked with many different anti-war organizations, and helped bring Dr. King and James Bevel into leadership positions in the 1960s anti-war movement. He sat on the executive committee of the Socialist Party of America and the Young People's Socialist League, its youth section, until he left in 1943; and was also a long-time member of the War Resisters League.
