David Eugene Price (born August 17, 1940) is a professor and politician currently serving as Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives, representing the 4th district of North Carolina. The district includes portions of Raleigh, Cary, as well as all of Durham and Chapel Hill, and surrounding suburbs.

Born in Erwin, Tennessee, Price attended Mars Hill College in Mars Hill, North Carolina when it was a junior college. He later transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill after winning a scholarship and earned a B.A. degree in 1961. Price continued his education at Yale University where he received a theology degree (1964) and a Ph.D. in political science (1969). Originally intent on becoming an engineer, Price decided instead to study divinity and political science.

He served as an aide to Alaska Senator Bob Bartlett from 1963 to 1967 and then entered academia, working as a political science and public policy professor at Duke University from 1973 until his first campaign for Congress in 1986. He also served as a Duke professor during 1995 and 1996, when he was not in Congress.
