David MacMillan (December 24, 1886 – July 9, 1963) was an American basketball coach. He was a longtime head coach at the University of Minnesota (18 seasons, 1927–42, and 1945–48), and briefly coached the NBA's Tri-Cities Blackhawks in 1950, succeeding Red Auerbach.

Before Minnesota, MacMillan was the head coach at the University of Idaho for seven seasons, from 1920 to 1927, the last six in the Pacific Coast Conference. He also coached baseball and freshman football at Idaho, and baseball at Minnesota from 1942 through 1947.

MacMillan resigned at Minnesota at age 62 in March 1948, citing health reasons.
