David Dubal (born Cleveland, Ohio) is an American pianist, teacher, author, lecturer, broadcaster, and painter.

Dubal has given piano recitals and master classes worldwide, and has also judged international piano competitions (including the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition). He recorded several albums jointly with pianist Stanley Waldoff for the Musical Heritage Society, and four compact discs of these recordings have been released on the ArkivCD label. (His album of Aram Khachaturian solo piano works has never been given a compact disc release, although it has been archived at YouTube.) Dubal appeared in the 2013 Dutch film Nostalgia: The Music of Wim Statius Muller, commenting on the musical compositions of Wim Statius Muller, who was Dubal's teacher at Ohio State University. Dubal taught at the Juilliard School from 1983 to 2018, and at the Manhattan School of Music from 1994 until 2015.

Dubal's drawings and paintings have garnered attention and praise. In 2020, a book titled Selected Paintings and Drawings of David Dubal was published by TIMP Universal, New York.

Dubal has written several books, including The Art of the Piano, Evenings with Horowitz, Conversations with Menuhin, Reflections from the Keyboard, Conversations with Joao Carlos Martins, The Essential Canon of Classical Music (an encyclopedic guide to the prominent composers of the Western canon), and Remembering Horowitz (with 125 essays by accomplished pianists and a disc of Vladimir Horowitz and Dubal in conversation). He also wrote and hosted The Golden Age of the Piano, an Emmy Award-winning documentary produced by Peter Rosen. Several of his articles on music have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, and The New Criterion.

Dubal is currently the host and instructor of the weekly Piano Evenings with David Dubal series, held at Good Shepherd-Faith Presbyterian Church in New York City. Dubal "provides historical and musical context for each week's repertoire selections, performed by a rotating lineup of acclaimed pianists."

Dubal has lectured numerous times at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art since the 1980s, to include lectures on Beethoven, a 200th birthday lecture on Frederic Chopin and Robert Schumann in 2010, three lectures in 2011 on Russian Romantic composers, and four lectures in 2012 on La Belle Époque. He gave three lectures (on Chopin, Liszt, and the history of the piano) at the 1993 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Dubal has given interviews on the subjects of the great pianists, music history and tradition, and the century of social change to the Snapshots Music and Arts Foundation, and these interviews are available to hear at their website.

Dubal is the host of The Piano Matters, a program of comparative piano performances that can be heard on WWFM and other US radio stations. He also hosts Reflections from the Keyboard, a weekly exploration of piano recordings, heard on WQXR-FM.

Dubal co-hosts with Jack Kohl a series of conversations between them, the episodes of which can be accessed at YouTube and Substack.
