David Pinski (April 5, 1872 – August 11, 1959) was a Yiddish language writer, probably best known as a playwright.
At a time when Eastern Europe was only beginning to experience the industrial revolution, Pinski was the first to introduce to its stage a drama about urban Jewish workers; a dramatist of ideas, he was notable also for writing about human sexuality with a frankness previously unknown to Yiddish literature.
He was also notable among early Yiddish playwrights in having stronger connections to German language literary traditions than Russian.
