Viburnum davidii (common name David viburnum) is a species of flowering plant in the family Caprifoliaceae, native to western China. Growing to 1.5 m (5 ft) tall and broad, it is an evergreen shrub with large, glossy, oval leaves up to 15 cm (6 in) long. Round clusters of tiny white flowers are produced in late spring, followed in late summer and autumn by oval black fruits. Both male and female plants are required to produce fruit.

V. davidii is one of several plants commemorating the 19th century French missionary and botanist Père Armand David.

This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
