David Alan Warrington (born September 16, 1967) is an American attorney who has served as the White House counsel since 2025.

Warrington enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1985, serving for six years. He later enrolled in Georgetown University, where he majored in philosophy and government, and graduated from Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University with a Juris Doctor. In 2000, Warrington helped establish the National Association for Gun Rights. By the following year, he had served as the national director of the Young Americans for Freedom and the chairman of the Virginia chapter of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies, and begun working as a real estate appraiser and a partner at Burkett Warrington. In 2001, he unsuccessfully ran in the Republican primary in the 2001 Virginia House of Delegates election for the state's 67th district.

Warrington assisted in Texas representative Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign and served as his general counsel for his 2012 presidential campaign. For his work in defending Paul's delegates at that year's Republican National Convention, Don McGahn, the general counsel for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, hired Warrington. He later joined Harmeet Dhillon's firm, Dhillon Law Group, and defended several Trump allies, including Sebastian Gorka and Michael Flynn. Warrington represented Trump in a personal capacity and served as his general counsel in his 2024 presidential campaign. In December 2024, Trump named Warrington as his White House counsel.
