Sir David Alan Chipperfield CBE (born 1953) is a British architect, born in London. He has offices in London, Berlin and Milan, and a representative office in Shanghai. Uncompromisingly modernist in outlook, his practice is driven by a consistent philosophical approach, rather than a 'house style'.

After receiving his Diploma from the Architectural Association in London he worked at the practices of Douglas Stephen, Richard Rogers and Norman Foster and in 1984 established his own practice, David Chipperfield Architects. The practice currently has over 120 staff from 15 countries, and is working on a variety of projects in Europe, the United States and China.

In September 2007, two Chipperfield buildings (America's Cup Building and the Museum of Modern Literature) made the 2007 RIBA Stirling Prize shortlist; the Museum of Modern Literature building won. The America's Cup Building won the 2006 LEAF Award, Grand Prix.
He was knighted in the 2010 New Year Honours for services to architecture in the UK and Germany.
