David Wilson Boyd Burnside (born 24 August, 1951) an Ulster Unionist Party MLA for South Antrim first elected in the 2003 Assembly Election and re-elected in 2007.
Burnside's involvement in politics stretches back to the days of the hardline Vanguard Unionist Progressive Party, for which he served as Press Officer.

David Burnside was born in Ballymoney, County Antrim and was educated at Coleraine Academical Institution before attending Queen's University Belfast where he graduated with a degree in Politics and Ancient History.
Burnside first became involved in politics when he became press officer of the Vanguard Unionist Progessive Party (VUPP) (1974-77) but then left to work in London taking up appointments as director of public relations with the Institute of Directors (1979-84) and as director of public affairs with British Airways (1984-93).
Although this setback was overcome when he won the South Antrim constituency at the general election of June 2001, Burnside maintained his vocal opposition to the UUP remaining in the Executive with SF.

In 2003 Molyneaux supported half the Ulster Unionist MPs - David Burnside, Jeffrey Donaldson and Martin Smyth - when they resigned the party whip in protest against the leadership of Trimble and the continuing support for the Agreement.
In the election Donaldson held his seat for his new party by a large majority whilst Spratt outpolled McGimpsey (though losing to the SDLP candidate Alasdair McDonnell on a split vote) and many asserted that Molyneaux and Smyth's endorsements had contributed to the UUP's disastrous showing.
