David Mitchell (born July 23 1974) is a British comedian, actor and writer, and one half of Mitchell and Webb, alongside Robert Webb, whom he met while they were both students at Cambridge. David studied History at Peterhouse. With Webb, he performed with the famous Cambridge Footlights.

After Cambridge, they appeared in three series of the Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show, written and starred in the Radio 4 sketch show That Mitchell and Webb Sound, and put on a number of shows at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Mitchell and Webb have written for Armstrong and Miller, and Big Train. They often appear with Olivia Colman, who was in both Peep Show and That Mitchell and Webb Sound.

Mitchell has appeared on his own as a debased technical wizard on the radio sitcom Think the Unthinkable, as a useless posh surgeon in BBC2 sitcom Doctors and Nurses, and as a topical talk show presenter on More4's The Last Word and Channel 4's FAQ U. He has guested on the other topical shows Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week, Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive and Channel 4's "The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2005" (in which he was on a team with Denise van Outen, finishing second). He has also written for series five of Dead Ringers on BBC2, and appeared on comedy quiz show 8 Out of 10 Cats on Channel 4 as well as the intelligentsia panel game QI on BBC2.

In 2006, Mitchell was also heard as a narrator on the so-called "social experiment" Beauty and the Geek.

He is currently recording "That Mitchell and Webb Look", a sketch show for BBC2 with, among others, Robert Webb and Olivia Colman.
