David J. Anderson is an American neurobiologist. He is a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences, American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. His lab is located in Caltech, where he current holds the position of Roger W. Sperry Professor in Biology.

Dr. Anderson's previous work focused on the development and function of the nervous system, particularly the mechanism of fate determination of neural stem cells. His laboratory's current focus is to dissect genes and neural circuits underlying innate behaviors.

Dr. Anderson was trained by two Nobel laureates, Gunter Blobel and Richard Axel.
