Gary David (born July 13, 1978) is a Filipino professional basketball player. He last played for the Mahindra Floodbuster of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He is a five-time All-star and co-holds the longest streak for consecutive games recording 20 points or more. Famously known as El Granada or Mr. Pure Energy, he is widely hailed by fans, legends, and hall of famers as one of the best scorers of all-time in the PBA. He also stars in TV5's sitcom No Harm, No Foul as Gary Da V alongside amateur basketball standout Kiefer Ravena and fellow PBA players Beau Belga and Willie Miller.

David started out as an intramural player at the Lyceum of the Philippines University, the same school he later powered to three runner-up finishes in the NCRAA versus a star-studded St. Francis of Assisi team led by behemoth brothers Yancy and Ranidel de Ocampo.

From Lyceum, he joined the Montaña Pawnshop Jewelers in the Philippine Basketball League, winning an MVP award in 2003.

David entered the 2004 PBA Draft, and was selected as the tenth overall pick by the then-Coca-Cola Tigers. The Tigers, headed by then-coach Chot Reyes, were coming of a banner year in which they finished runners-up in the first and second conference's and winning the 2003 Reinforced Conference title in which Johnny Abarrientos, Rudy Hatfield and Jeffrey Cariaso was still in the fold. During his rookie season, David found himself coming off the bench with insignificant minutes due to the depth of the team. As the season progressed, David played more minutes as the team's sixth man but was then shipped to the Air21 Express in the middle of the season.
