David Michael Gonski AC (born 7 October 1953) is an Australian public figure and businessman.

In 2008, The Sydney Morning Herald described Gonski as "one of the country's best-connected businessmen" and dubbed him "Mr Networks" for being "arguably Sydney's most networked man".[1][2] A profile in 2010 by Australian author and Herald columnist Malcolm Knox said that Gonski is "a quiet man, in some ways invisible, and cleaves to the shadows."[3][4]
