David Rawnsley (1909–1977) was a British art director.

Rawnsley oversaw a scheme to streamline production operations for the Rank Organisation. His attempt, Production Facilities (Films) Ltd, was widely ridiculed, and became known as "Piffle" by the Rank filmmakers. After his Independent Frame process failed to take off, he retired to Italy.
