David Lewis (died 1872) was a former MP in Wales, representing Carmarthen constituency.[1]

He was elected in the 1835 general election, narrowly defeating the sitting Whig member, William Henry Yelverton.[2] Lewis was defeated in the next election in 1837. Lewis was regarded as a nominee of the former member, John Jones of Ystrad, and his defeat was portrayed as a defeat for his mentor.[3]

Lewis never contributed in parliament.[4] Following his defeat he never stood for Parliament again.
