David M. Malone, born in 1954, is a Canadian scholar-diplomat, a frequent author on international security and development, and a former Canadian High Commissioner and Ambassador. He was appointed President of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) in July 2008.

His most recent book is The Law and Practice of the United Nations. Earlier he had written on the political economy of civil wars, on the causes of violent conflict and conflict prevention and on Haiti. As a practitioner, Malone worked on Middle East issues and later focused on international economic relations, eventually becoming a G-8 negotiator for Canada.
