David Hall (born) was a Canadian politician who was the first leader of the Prince Edward Island New Democratic Party in 1972.[2] He previously ran as the party's candidate in Hillsborough in the 1968 federal election.
Under Hall's leadership, the party contested three provincial by-elections in 1972 — its first attempt at running for provincial seats since the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation last competed in 1951 — and received 5.2 per cent of the total vote. Soon afterward, however, Hall moved out of the province and resigned the leadership. He was succeeded as leader by Aquinas Ryan.
