David William "Dave" Sime (born July 25, 1936) is a former American athlete. He never won a major title but he ranked as one of the fastest humans of all time, holding several sprint records during the late 1950s.

Born in Paterson, New Jersey, David Sime became a star in 1956 while attending Duke University. He and fellow American Bobby Joe Morrow had some great duels that year but an injury ruined his Olympic hopes. Four years later, in Rome, he was second in the Olympic 100 m before anchoring the U.S. to a victory in the 4x100 m relay. However, the U.S. team was disqualified for passing out of the zone, and Sime lost his chance at an Olympic gold medal. During his career, he held world records at 100 yd, 220 yd, and the 220 yd low hurdles. After college, Sime became an ophthalmologist in Florida.
