Dave Stamper (November 10, 1883 – September 18, 1963) was an American songwriter of the Tin Pan Alley and vaudeville eras, a contributor to twenty-one editions of the Ziegfeld Follies, writer for the Fox Film Corporation, and composer of more than one thousand songs, in spite of never learning to read or write traditional music notation.
He may have written "Shine On Harvest Moon", a claim supported by vaudeville performer and writer Eddie Cantor.
He was also a charter member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers or ASCAP.
