Includes a running list of characters who are only known by the name of David.

The Walking Dead

There have been at least three characters named David featured on the AMC survival horror series The Walking Dead. The first was a resident of Woodbury who became a refugee of the West Georgia Correctional Facility. Along with Karen, he became infected with a deadly virus and was murdered by Carol Peletier to keep the virus from spreading. Carol burned David and Karen's bodies.

A second man named David was a resident of Alexandria, Virginia. He went on a scouting mission with Glenn Rhee, Tobin, Nicholas, and several others and was bitten by a walker. Glenn had to put him down by stabbing him in the head.

A third man named David became a member of a militant survival group called the Saviors, who ran a protection racket with the surrounding communities. Gary was often part of an armed convoy that would visit the communities on scheduled visits to collect their "tribute", which consisted of everything from food to weapons to supplies. He was often seen in the company of Laura and Gary. During the Saviors' first visit to the Alexandria Safe-Zone, David raided the infirmary, but was caught by Carl Grimes, who held him at gunpoint. Through the pleading of Carl's father, Rick Grimes, as well as the enforcement of Negan, Carl was made to lower his weapon. David later taunted another young resident named Enid, taking her balloons, and refusing to return them until she said "please" in a manner to his liking. On the Saviors' second visit to Alexandria, David and Gary intercepted Rick and Aaron and inspected the goods they had procured. They found a note, which they mistakenly believed was meant as a sign of disrespect, so they beat Aaron up as a form of punishment. David was present outside the gates of the Sanctuary when Eugene Porter was first brought into captivity. When the Saviors captured Sasha Williams, David came to her cell. She asked for a cup of water. David agreed to do this, but in return, he wanted her perform sexual favors for him. Sasha told him to "Go to Hell", but this did not deter him. He pulled violently on her shirt, ripping it. He then began undoing his belt buckle with the intent of raping her. Negan came into the cell at this point and stopped him. David apologized to Negan, but the leader did not accept his apology. Instead, he drove a large knife through the side of his throat, killing him. He left the corpse on the ground, as well as the knife, so that Sasha could decide for herself whether she wanted to prevent David from reanimating. She elected to plunge the knife through his forehead as he began to revive. (Walking Dead: Something They Need)
