David Elm (born 10 January 1983) is a Swedish footballer who plays for Kalmar FF as a striker. He previously played for Swedish clubs Kalmar FF, Falkenbergs FF and IF Elfsborg and for English club Fulham.
He is the older brother of Rasmus Elm of Kalmar FF and Viktor Elm of AZ Alkmaar.
Elm began his career playing for youth clubs Johansfors IF and Emmaboda IS, alongside his younger brothers Rasmus and Viktor (although he went on to play for Nybro IF).
He moved to Superettan club Falkenbergs FF on a free transfer in 2004. Upon his arrival, he quickly established himself as first-choice. During his career, Elm scored a total of 14 goals on 68 matches. He left Falkenbergs FF for Allsvenskan club Kalmar FF at the end of the 2006 season.
In Kalmar FF, he was mostly used as a substitute during his first season. However, after several departures, he became first-choice in the 2008 season, contributing 7 goals in 27 games, which saw Kalmar win the Swedish Cup. Kalmar also went on to win Allsvenskan for the first time in the club's history. This led to a possible move to Fulham. However, he decided to stay and help the club win Swedish Super Cup.
