David Scott Mitchell (19 March 1836 – 24 July 1907) was a collector of Australian books, founder and benefactor of The Mitchell Library, Sydney.〔G. D.

==Early life==
Mitchell was born in Sydney, the son of Dr James Mitchell and his wife Augusta Maria Frederick, ''née'' Scott. James Mitchell came to Australia in 1821 as an army surgeon, and two years later was appointed assistant surgeon at the military hospital, Macquarie Street, Sydney, where he became head in 1825. James Mitchell afterwards became the owner of 50,000 acres (200 km²) in the Hunter River valley which included rich coal-bearing land. James and Augusta are commemorated by a window in the Garrison Church.〔 David Mitchell was born at Sydney Hospital,〔 grew up in Cumberland Street, Sydney and in October 1852, aged 16, became one of the first seven undergraduate students in the newly established University of Sydney in 1852. Mitchell won scholarships in mathematics and graduated B.A. in 1856 with honours in classics, and M.A. in 1859.〔
Mitchell was called to the bar but did not practise, and was said to have declined the position of attorney-general.〔 Mitchell assisted in the management of the Hunter River estates.〔 Mitchell was a good cricketer and dancer, a skilful whist player, and a good amateur actor. Allegedly he broke off a romance with Emily Matilda Manning, daughter of William Montagu Manning.〔 Mitchell was already forming a collection of books. Mitchell's father died in 1869 and there was a lawsuit over the will. Publication of the family affairs was humiliating to a man of Mitchell's sensitive disposition.〔
