David Roberts Young (November 4, 1911 – November 3, 1969) was an American director, producer and actor, in radio and on the stage, known as the longtime director of Family Theater. In September 1936, Young was promoted from chief announcer to program director and production manager at Don Lee's KGB in San Diego, where he remained until March 1939, when he succeeded Z. Wayne Griffin as continuity editor for Lee's L.A. station, KHJ. In 1942, he was promoted to production manager for the entire Don Lee Network.

In 1947, Young replaced Mel Williamson as director on Family Theater. He continued in that capacity through May 1949, reappearing only sporadically and infrequently over the following five years.
