David Llewellyn Mort (25 March 18881 January 1963) was a Labour Party politician in the United Kingdom.

At the 1929 general election, he was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Eccles, but lost the seat at the 1931 election.

Mort stood, unsuccesfully at the 1935 general election in Bilston. He was returned to the House of Commons as MP for Swansea East at an unopposed by-election in 1940, following the death of the Labour MP David Williams. He held the seat until his own death in 1963, triggering another by-election.
