Dr. David Edgeworth Butler (born 17 October 1924) is a Social Scientist and Psephologist.

He was educated at St Paul's School and New College, Oxford and attended Princeton University from 1947-48. He then returned to Oxford as a researcher and academic at Nuffield College. Between 1956-64 he served as Personal Assistant to HM Ambassador in Washington.

Dr Butler is the author of many publications, but perhaps his most important work is the Nuffield Election Studies of each United Kingdom General Election since 1945. Since 1974, these studies have been co-written with Dennis Kavanagh. He was an on-screen expert on the BBC's election coverage from the 1950 election to the 1979 election, and was a co-inventor of the swingometer.

He is an Emeritus Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1994. His wife, Professor Marilyn Butler, is a former rector of Exeter College, Oxford, and was the first woman to head a previously all-male college.]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>    <born_at>10/17/1924</born_at>
