David Arroyo Durán (born 7 January 1980 in Talavera de la Reina, Toledo) is a Spanish professional road bicycle racer, riding on the UCI ProTeam Caisse d'Epargne. He is one of the best climbers on his team along with team leader Alejandro Valverde and Óscar Pereiro. After Valverde crashed on the first week of the 2006 Tour de France, Arroyo was made team leader, until Pereiro claimed the leader's yellow jersey. Arroyo then helped to protect Pereiro in the mountain climbs and ensure his overall victory.

Arroyo's only victories came at the 2004 Volta a Portugal, where he won two stages, the mountains competition and the young riders competition. His top ten performance in the 2007 Giro d'Italia suggests that the young rider may have greater victories yet to come.
