David W. Hoyle (February 4, 1939 – March 29, 2023) was an American politician from North Carolina. He was a Democratic member of the North Carolina General Assembly representing the state's forty-third Senate district from 1993 to 2010, and the state's secretary of revenue from 2010 to 2013.[1] A real estate developer from Dallas, North Carolina, he served as the mayor of the town and was a graduate of Lenoir–Rhyne College.

Hoyle announced in 2009 that he would retire at the end of the 2009–10 session of the legislature,[2] in what was his ninth term in the state Senate. Shortly before the expiration of his term in 2010, Gov. Beverly Perdue appointed him Secretary of Revenue, a Cabinet post.[3][4] He served until Perdue left office in 2013.[5]

Hoyle and his wife, Linda, had four children. He died at his home in Dallas, North Carolina, on March 29, 2023, at the age of 84, from complications of a stroke he had several years prior.[5]
