David Bryan Sentelle (born February 12, 1943) is a Senior United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Sentelle was born in Canton, North Carolina, the son of a mill worker. He grew up in Candler, NC and graduated from Enka High School before attending college and law school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He earned his undergraduate degree in 1965 and his law degree in 1968.
Following law school he practiced law with the firm of Ussell & Dumont until becoming an assistant U.S. Attorney in Charlotte, North Carolina in January 1970. From 1974 to 1977, he served as a North Carolina State District Judge. He then practiced law privately from 1977 until 1985 with the law firm of Tucker, Hicks, Sentelle, Moon & Hodge. In 1985 he was appointed to the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina in Asheville by President Ronald Reagan, where he served until his appointment to the D.C.

He presents regularly at educational programs for lawyers and judges on national security law.
