:''For the U.S. HEW secretary, see F. David Mathews; for a similar name, see David Matthews''
David Mathews (c. 1739 – July 28, 1800) was a lawyer and politician from New York City. He was a Loyalist during the American Revolutionary War and was the 43rd and last Colonial Mayor of New York City from 1776 until 1783. As New York City was the center of British control of the Colonies during the war, he was one of the highest ranking civilian authorities in the Colonies during this period. He was an accused supporter of a plot led by Thomas Hickey (soldier) to kill General George Washington. He resettled in Nova Scotia after the war, and became a leading political figure in the Cape Breton colony that was created in 1786.

Mathews was born in New York to Vincent Mathews and Catalina Abeel, the daughter of Johannes Abeel, the second Mayor of Albany, and Catherine Schuyler. He earned an A.M. degree from the College of New Jersey (Princeton University) in 1754. He married Sarah Seymour on November 6, 1758 in New York. He was admitted to practice law in Orange County, New York in 1760.〔Chester, Alden and Williams, Edwin Melvin. ''Courts and Lawyers of New York: A History, 1609-1925'', Volume 1, page 1315.〕 He was appointed Mayor in February 1776 by William Tryon, Governor of the Province of New York.
Mathews lived in Manhattan but maintained a summer residence in Flatbush, located approximately at the intersection of Flatbush Avenue and Parkside Avenue,〔Vanderbilt, Gertrude Lefferts ''The Social History of Flatbush, and Manners and Customs of the Dutch Settlers of Kings County'' D. Appleton & Company, 1881〕 and where he conducted much of his business while Mayor.〔Burrows, Edwin G.
