David MacNish (c. 1812 – 10 April 1863) was a New Zealand interpreter, labourer, bricklayer, farmer and Pākehā Māori. He was born in Trelawny Parish, Jamaica in 1812 or 1813, the son of a Scottish-born estate overseer and a slave woman of mixed British and African ancestry - so he was also a slave, until manumitted by his father in 1820.
