Kornél Dávid (in English sometimes Kornel David, born October 22, 1971) is a retired Hungarian professional basketball player. He was the only Hungarian to play in the NBA. He has played for four teams between 1998 and 2001.
Dávid grew up with the Budapesti Honvéd juniors squad and made his debut with Budapest Honvéd during the 1987–88 season. He was signed for the 1988–89 by Malév SC and played there also the 1989–90 season. In the 1990–91 season, he went back to Budapesti Honvéd and played there until the 1993–94 championship. In 1994, Albacomp (Székesfehérvár) recruited Dávid and was his team up to the 1996–97 championship season.
Dávid was signed by the Chicago Bulls on October 1, 1997 and waived on October 28. He then spent the next part of the 1997-98 season with the Rockford Lightning in the CBA but was released on December 1997. He later moved back to Hungary, signed for the remainder of the season by Albacomp Székesfehérvár, winning the 1997-98 Hungarian National Championship in the process. He would also spend part of the next season with Albacomp Székesfehérvár.
On 21 January 1999, Dávid was signed as a free agent by Chicago Bulls and was waived on January 2000. A few days later, he signed to the first of two consecutive 10-day contracts with the Cleveland Cavaliers, after which he moved back to Hungary on February signed for the remainder of the season by Albacomp Székesfehérvár.
