David Mitchell (born 4 April 1990) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for club Partick Thistle. Mitchell has previously played for Ayr United, Stranraer, Dundee, Falkirk, Clyde and Hibernian.

Stranraer
After beginning his career at Ayr United, but having not featured in the first team Mitchell joined Stranraer on loan in July 2009, then made the move permanent in June 2010. He stated that his decision to make the initial loan move was to achieve his ambition of first team football which he felt he wouldn't get at Ayr. Mitchell was part of the club's successful promotion campaign in 2012, when having initially lost against Albion Rovers in the play-offs, Stranraer were promoted to the Scottish Second Division due to the demise of Rangers. During the 2014–15 season, Scottish Championship side Hibernian were reported to be interested in signing Mitchell.

Falkirk
On 1 June 2017, Mitchell agreed a contract with Falkirk. On 24 May 2019, Mitchell signed for Clyde, on a one-year contract.

Hibernian
He moved to Premiership club Hibernian in August 2021, and left them in June 2022 without having played a first-team game.
