David Mitchell (born October 24, 1979) is an American mixed martial artist currently competing in the Heavyweight division. A professional competitor since 2006, Mitchell has formerly competed for the UFC, the World Series of Fighting, and Tachi Palace Fights.

Mitchell was born in Berkeley, California but was raised in Laytonville, California. Mitchell competed in soccer through high school and then went to several community colleges before dropping out and working in construction for six years. Mitchell began training under David Terrell at Terrell's gym in Santa Rosa, California and year later began competing in professional mixed martial arts.

Mitchell made his professional MMA debut in 2006 and compiled an undefeated record of 11-0 with wins over War Machine, Bobby Green, Tim McKenzie, and Poppies Martinez before being signed by the UFC. Mitchell also won the Tachi Palace Fights Welterweight Championship by defeating McKenzie and then successfully defended the title against Martinez.

Mitchell made his UFC debut against TJ Waldburger on September 15, 2010 at UFC Fight Night: Marquardt vs. Palhares. Mitchell lost a unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).

Mitchell was expected to fight Mike Swick on January 22, 2011 at UFC: Fight for the Troops 2. However, Mitchell was forced out of the fight with a back injury and Swick felt as if his stomach condition was not completely healed, so the bout was scrapped from the card altogether.
