David Francis Jull (4 October 1944 – 13 September 2011) was an Australian politician. He was a long-serving Liberal member of the Australian House of Representatives, representing the Division of Bowman, Queensland, from 1975 to 1983 and Fadden, Queensland, from 1984 to 2007.
Jull was born in Kingaroy, Queensland, and was educated at the Anglican Church Grammar School and the University of Queensland. He was an announcer on radio and television from 1963 to 1965 and then a director of television station TVQ, Brisbane until he entered politics. He was elected at the 1975 general election, but defeated in 1983.
He was Deputy General Manager of the Queensland Tourist and Travel Corporation 1983–84.
Jull was reelected to parliament at the 1984 election. He was a member of the Opposition Shadow Ministry 1989–94, and was Minister for Administrative Services 1996–97. He resigned from the ministry following accusations that he had failed to prevent other MPs from abusing their parliamentary allowances.
Jull was chair of the Parliamentary Committee on the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation 1997–2002, and of its successor, the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (formerly the Parliamentary Joint Committee on ASIO, ASIS and DSD), since 2002. In this capacity he presided over the Committee's inquiry into the performance of the Australian intelligence services in relation to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction in 2003–04.
