David Gourd (10 February 1885 - 29 December 1981) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in Saint-Victor d'Alfred, Ontario, and became a financier and merchant by career.
Early in his career, he moved to Amos, Quebec, as one of the new town's first settlers, establishing a general store there.[1] He later became the town's mayor and head of the local chamber of commerce.
He was first elected to Parliament at the Chapleau riding in the 1945 general election,[1] then re-elected in 1949 and 1953. Gourd left federal politics after the end of his third term, the 22nd Canadian Parliament, and did not seek re-election in 1957.
