David Vickers is a fictional character from the American soap opera One Life to Live portrayed by Tuc Watkins.

David was originated in 1994 by Watkins, who played the character until 1996 and then reprised the role briefly in October 2001 and January 2002. Watkins returned from August 2003 through November 2006 and then for a five-month run starting March 6, 2007. He reappeared again near the end of May 2007 and left July 26, 2007, returning temporarily in November 2007. Watkins came back from May 7 to August 6, 2008, for another short-term run, and Soap Opera Digest subsequently named David their "Most Entertaining Male Character" of 2008, writing, "Time and time again, David's harebrained schemes and Tuc Watkins's side-splitting performances provide amusement we're always sorry to see end." Watkins returned again from December 26, 2008, though March 2, 2009, later reappearing on April 7, 2009, and on April 22, April 23, and April 27, 2009. Watkins returns again on August 10, 2009, February 2010, April 2010, and June 2010. Watkins reprised the role continually from late 2010 through the original television finale episode aired January 12, 2012, and reprised the role when new daily episodes of OLTL debuted on Hulu, iTunes, and FX Canada via The Online Network April 29, 2013. Watkins also appeared on All My Children for several episodes in 2005.

In 2007, David spends time in prison for a crime he did not commit. Asa Buchanan had agreed to pay him $10 million to murder Spencer Truman. When Truman was murdered by Lindsay Rappapport, David pleaded guilty in order to receive the payoff.

While David is in prison, Jessica Buchanan Vega is in need of a liver transplant. Dorian visits David and asks him to get tested to see if he is a match. He is not interested in helping Jessica, but takes the test anyway.

David is angry when Detective John McBain fights to get him out of jail because he will not receive payment from Asa. McBain feels certain that David did not commit murder. David is released but has no money and no home. It seems no one in Llanview will let him move in with him. Viki Davidson, however, agrees to let him move into Llanfair when she sees how jealous and angry it makes Dorian. Viki and David pretend to be lovers to further annoy Dorian. In the process, they become good friends.
