David Cross (born April 23, 1948) is an electric violinist born in Plymouth, England, best known for playing with progressive rock band King Crimson during the 1970s (particularly on Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black and Red). He also plays keyboards and Mellotron.
Since the 1990s he has led his own band, the earlier incarnations of which were fronted by "the outstanding Liverpool bassist/vocalist John Dillon, whose writing ability and stage charisma have been sorely missed since his departure from the band". Former and current King Crimson members John Wetton, Robert Fripp, Richard Palmer-James and Peter Sinfield have all guested on his solo projects. Albums include The Big Picture, Exiles, Testing to Destruction, and Closer Than Skin.
Cross is currently a senior lecturer in Music Education at London Metropolitan University.
