Dovid Feinstein (Hebrew: דוד פיינשטיין; 1929 – November 6, 2020) was an American rabbi and halachic authority. He served as the rosh yeshiva (dean) of the Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem yeshiva elementary and high school and kollel, inheriting the position after the passing of his father Rabbi Moshe Feinstein in 1986. He also wrote a number of books on such topics as halacha, Torah and the Jewish calendar, as well as some very popular Passover Haggadahs.
His brother, Rabbi Reuven Feinstein, is rosh yeshiva of the Staten Island branch of Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem.
