David Grimm (born c. 1965) is an American playwright.
Grimm was born in 1965 in Oberlin, Ohio, where both his parents were professors at Oberlin College. Upon their divorce when Grimm was age five, he moved with his mother and sister to Israel, until he was age 11. His family then continually relocated throughout Europe, as his mother's teaching job demanded, before Grimm ultimately returned to Oberlin to live with his father and finish high school. In 1983, Grimm moved to New York to attend college at Sarah Lawrence and, later, graduate school at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. From there, he took residency in New Dramatists.
