David Adams Riddell (30 September 1899 — 3 April 1957) was a Scottish first-class cricketer.

Riddell was born at Glasgow in September 1899. He was educated at Fettes College, before matriculating to St John's College, Cambridge.[1] He served during the First World War with the Machine Gun Corps, being commissioned as a temporary second lieutenant in October 1918, less than one month before the end of the war. A club cricketer for Greenock, Riddell made three appearances in first-class cricket for Scotland in 1921 and 1922, playing twice against Ireland and once against Surrey.[2] He scored 56 runs in his three matches, at an average of 11.20, with a highest score of 32.[3] Riddell later emigrated to Australia, where he died in the inner-Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy in April 1957.
