David Thomas McLaggan McMeeking (30 January 1896 – 30 August 1976) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A hooker, McMeeking represented Otago at a provincial level, and played for the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, in two matches against the touring New South Wales team in 1923.

During World War I, McMeeking served with the New Zealand Cyclists Corps. He was awarded the Military Medal for bravery in the field as a result of actions on the morning of 1 November 1918 near Saultain in northern France. He died in Dunedin in 1976, and was buried at Andersons Bay Cemetery.
