David McWilliams (July 4, 1945 in Belfast - January 8, 2002) was an Northern Irish singer, songwriter, and guitarist.

Perhaps most popular was his 1967 song Days of Pearly Spencer. The lyrics were inspired by the fate of a homeless friend of his. Although David never had a 'hit' in England, he was very popular on continental Europe (Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands) and Japan. A 1992 cover version by Marc Almond became a British No. 4 hit. David McWilliams died of a heart attack at his home in Ballycastle in 2002.
