Dave Suzuki (鈴木デイブ, Suzuki Deibu)  is a death metal guitarist, drummer/percussionist, lyricist, bassist, and vocalist from Las Vegas, Nevada, best known for his work with Vital Remains and Deicide. Dave is known for his rapid guitar-work, highly technical leads/solos, well crafted blast beats, anti-Christian lyrical content.

He is one of the fastest and most technically proficient drummers in today's death metal scene. His work can be heard on Vital Remains' Forever Underground (1997), Vital Remains' Dawn of the Apocalypse (2000), Vital Remains' "Dechristianize"(2003), and latest release "Icons of Evil"(2007). Vital Remains recently came out with a live DVD entitled "Evil Death Live"(2007), filmed at 'Metalmania Festival' in Katowice, Poland. The DVD contains a live performance lasting just under an hour and includes a 'behind the scenes' interview with Dave Suzuki. Additional live performances by Suzuki can be seen on Deicide's live DVD, "When London Burns", where Suzuki filled in on a few days notice after the unexpected resignation of former Deicide guitarists brothers Eric and Brian Hoffman.

Dave is currently endorsed by B.C. Rich and plays an I.T. Jr. V.
