David Cudworth Burr (April 21, 1783 – November 7, 1827) was an American businessperson and politician from Maine. Burr served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1816-1917 prior to Maine's statehood. He also served in the Maine House of Representatives from its founding in 1820 until his death in November 1827. He represented Litchfield, Maine.

Prior to settling in Litchfield, Burr lived in nearby Gardiner, Maine, where he served on the town's school board from 1809 to 1810.[1]

Burr was the youngest of twelve children by his parents Jonathan Burr and Martha (Cudworth) Burr. On his mother's side, he was the descendant of Plymouth Colony resident James Cudworth.[1]
