David Alan Harvey (born June 6, 1944) is an American photographer, based in The Outer Banks, North Carolina and New York City.[1] He was a full member of the Magnum Photos agency from 1997 to 2020 and has photographed extensively for National Geographic magazine. In 1978 Harvey was named Magazine Photographer of the Year by the National Press Photographers Association. He is the founder and curator of Burn, a website showing the work of emerging photographers.

In October 2020, Harvey's membership in Magnum was suspended for one year following an investigation into allegations that he had sexually harassed several of his female colleagues.[2] After a second private investigation into sexual misconduct claims against Harvey, the board of Magnum voted to remove him as a member. He resigned before the meeting of the entire Magnum membership regarding the matter.[3]
