David Leavitt
Za ostale osobe s istim imenom, v. David Leavitt (razvrstavanje).David Leavitt (Pittsburgh, 23.6. 1961.-) je američki pisac. Diplomirao je na Yaleu, a danas kao profesor predaje kreativno pisanje na Univerzitetu Floride.
Leavitt je homoseksualac i njegov književni opus se pretežno bavi gay tematikom, uključujući njegov najpoznatiji roman The Lost Language of Cranes.
Leavitta je sudu tužio britanski književnik Stephen Spender zbog toga što je njegov lik na navodno nedoličan način korišten u Leavittovoj knjizi While England Sleeps. Spor je riješen sudskom nagodbom prema kojoj je Leavitt pristao izbaciti sporne dijelove iz knjige.
