David L. Pulver (born 2 November 1965 in Kingston, Ontario) is a Canadian freelance writer and game designer, with a History degree from Queen's University. He is the author of more than fifty role-playing game rulebooks and supplements, including the award winning Transhuman Space.

Pulver designed GURPS Ultra-Tech (1989), an equipment guide that could be used with many different worlds. Pulver also designed GURPS Psionics (1991) and GURPS Vehicles (1993), the latter of which featured a very mathematical vehicle construction system.Mark MacKinnon brought Pulver on to Guardians of Order in November 1998, and Pulver took the lead in extending Big Eyes, Small Mouth from its simplistic start to a more complete game system. Pulver also simultaneously worked on more licensed, standalone games, resulting in releases such as Dominion: Tank Police (1999), Demon City Shinjuku (2000), and Tenchi Muyo! (2000). Pulver and John R. Phythyon, Jr., designed the gangster Samurai Tri-stat game Ghost Dog (2000) based on the film of the same name. Pulver designed the hard science-fiction Centauri Knights (2001), the first original setting from Guardians of Order. Pulver designed Transhuman Space (2002), a new science fiction setting for GURPS.
