David McGillivray (born 7 September 1947 in London) is an actor, producer, playwright, screenwriter and film critic.

David McGillivray has contributed to radio, TV, films and theatre, began as a film journalist and bit player.

The films were not commercially successful and McGillivray's scripts attracted mostly hostile reviews. He moved to theatre, co-writing lowbrow farces for his own company. During this period he met Julian Clary, who was starting out as a stand-up comic. McGillivray has continued to this day to write for Clary.
