David McKinney was a prominent Presbyterian pastor, theologian, and publisher in Pennsylvania.
He graduated from Jefferson College (now Washington & Jefferson College) in 1821. In addition to his pastoral and professorial duties, he founded The Presbyterian Banner in 1852 in Philadelphia. He merged that publication with the Pittsburgh-based Presbyterian Advocate before selling the publication in 1864. By 1906, it was considered the oldest religious magazine in the country.
