David Richard Bull (born 9 May 1969) is an English television presenter, author and politician. He served as Reform UK's Deputy Leader from 2021 to 2023 and as Co-Deputy Leader, alongside Ben Habib, from 2023 to 2024.[1] He was previously a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for North West England from 2019 to 2020.

Bull studied at St Mary's Hospital Medical School at Imperial College London and worked as a pre-registration and then senior house officer at St Mary's Hospital, Ealing Hospital and Whittington Hospital. He began a career in broadcasting in 1995 and has presented or appeared as a commentator on numerous shows. As well as appearing on British television, he has presented Sugar Dome and appeared on The Rachael Ray Show in the US.

In 2006, Bull was selected as the Conservative candidate for Brighton Pavilion for the following general election. He stood down in 2009 to head up a Conservative policy review on sexual health and was replaced by Charlotte Vere. He joined the Brexit Party, later Reform UK, in 2019 and was elected as one of their MEPs for North West England at that year's European Parliament election. He stood down upon the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU in January 2020. He became Deputy Leader of Reform UK in March 2021. In 2022, he became a presenter on TalkTV. At the 2024 general election he stood in West Suffolk and came third with 20.8% of the vote. Shortly after the election he was replaced as deputy leader by Richard Tice.
