David Marshall Coulthard, MBE, (c-enˈdeɪvɪd ˈkoʊlθɑːrt) (born 27 March 1971 in Dumfries and raised nearby in Twynholm), sometimes known as DC, is a British former Formula One racing driver from Scotland.

Coulthard made his Formula One debut in 1994 and won 13 Grands Prix in a career spanning 15 seasons. Twice a winner in Monaco, Coulthard was team-mate to Mika Häkkinen in the Finn's two Drivers' Championship winning seasons for McLaren Mercedes before helping establish the Red Bull team.

Coulthard amassed a notable points haul placing him seventh on the all-time scorers list, being the top British scorer. His best Drivers' Championship finish was second in 2001.

Coulthard is now a BBC F1 TV pundit while also being a team consultant for Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso.

Coulthard returned to racing sports as an active driver in the DTM series for 2010, piloting a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class for Mücke Motorsport. He finished his first DTM race at the Hockenheimring in 12th place.
