David Joseph Wijnkoop (born 11 March 1876 in Amsterdam – died 7 May 1941 in Amsterdam) was a Dutch communist leader in the first half of the twentieth century. He was the eldest son of (upper) rabbi Joseph Wijnkoop and Dientje (Milia) Nijburg.
At the Barlaeus Gymnasium, he was not accepted as a member of the school association Disciplina Scipio Vitae because he was a Jew.
He joined the Social Democratic Workers' Party (SDAP) in 1898 and broke with it in 1909 by SDAP and was with Jan Cornelis Ceton co-founder of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), predecessor of the Communist Party of Holland (CPH). Wijnkoop was the leader of the Communists in the years around World War I. He agitated fiercely against the Social Democrats and organized demonstrations in Amsterdam at the Amsterdam SDAP-alderman Floor Wibaut. He left the CPH in 1925, but returned to it later.
Wijnkoop interpellated in:
In 1931, Wijnkoop initiated a proposal to combat the adverse effects of the economic crisis on the workers, the proposal was withdrawn in 1932.
In 1907 Wijnkoop founded, together with Jan Cornelis Ceton and Willem van Ravesteyn, the magazine The Tribune. Together with the rest of the Tribune group, he left the SDAP and founded the Social Democratic Party (SDP), which in 1919 changed its name to Communist Party of Holland (CPH).
In 1925, Wijnkoop left the CPH, together with a number of supporters. The conflict was related to the growing pains of the party, but also with the wish to get a "workers deputy" in parliament instead of Van Ravesteyn. He sided with Van Ravesteyn. Thanks to the support of the Communist International, the minority in this conflict managed to win and Wijnkoop left.
