David William Fairbank (born December 19, 1954) is an American former swimmer, Olympic champion, and former world record-holder. Fairbank represented the United States at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany. He swam for the winning U.S. teams in the preliminary heats of the men's 4×100-meter freestyle relay and 4×100-meter medley relay, but did not receive a medal for either event. Under the Olympic rules in effect in 1972, swimmers who competed in the qualifying heats, but not the final of relay events, were not eligible to receive a medal.
