D. Whitfield (1920-?) was a folk and gospel musician who played to small, Midwestern towns in the 1940s and 1950s. As a musician, very little is known about Whitfield, as he has only a few surviving recordings - none of which were very popular during his tenure. However, he has influenced a small number of musicians, mostly in Kansas and Oklahoma.

Whitfield's musical career was likely hindered by extensive legal troubles, as he was wanted in several counties across the U. S. for vice crimes. Maintaining his innocence, Whitfield fled captivity in Arapahoe County, Colorado in 1954, before ever making it to trial. He was never again apprehended by authorities.

Whitfield was last spotted in Oklahoma City in 1963, reportedly playing to a crowd of less than forty people.
