David Stephenson Rohde (born 1967) is an American investigative journalist for The New York Times.

From July 2002 to December 2004, he was co-chief of the Times 's South Asia bureau, based in New Delhi.

While a reporter for The Christian Science Monitor, he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1996 for his coverage of the Srebrenica massacre.

His work exposed the slaughter of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the region of Srebrenica, and was hailed as some of the finest reporting on human rights abuses ever. His reporting was used in programs to teach international reporting skills to young journalists at Columbia University, where officials said of his work: "We felt that Rohde's work was ideal for a case study in reporting on gross human rights violations, presenting opportunities to study both the professional techniques and the moral issues that pertain to such work."

At The New York Times, he has written about peacekeeping efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and he reported on the hardships endured by men who had been detained and released from the U.S. military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

David has been praised as a fair and compassionate reporter who is willing to endure personal hardship in doing his work. While documenting the ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Bosnia, he was detained by Serbian authorities, who interrogated him for 10 days and accused him of being a spy. An international campaign involving reporters and non-governmental experts throughout the world led to his release.

Rohde earned his B.A. at Brown University in 1990. He is a native of Maine.
