Davide Giordano (22 March 1864 Courmayeur – 1 February 1954 Venezia) was an Italian physician and politician.
He came from a Waldensian family originally from Torre Pellice, the son of Giacomo and Susetta Hugon.
He was president of Ateneo Veneto, Venice's Institute of Science, Literature and Arts, multiple times (1919 - 1921, 1925 - 1929, 1938 - 1942). He is noted for the proposition of the transglebellar-nasal approach to pituitary surgery, which was first practiced in 1909 in a patient with pituitary adenoma.
He was the head of a surgical department at a hospital in Venice from 1894 to 1934. During World War I, he was a consultant surgeon in the Third Army.
