David King (30 April 1943 – 11 May 2016) was a British writer, designer and historian of graphic design who, in the course of his research, assembled one of the largest collections of Soviet graphics and photographs.
From this collection, he created a series of revelatory books unfolding the history of the Russian Revolution, and its associated art and propaganda.
King developed a special interest in Leon Trotsky and the subsequent doctoring of revolutionary photos and records.
Part of King's collection is housed on the fourth floor of Tate Modern, London.
