S. David Freeman (born January 14, 1926) is an American engineer, attorney, and author, born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, who has had many key roles in energy policy. He currently heads The Hydrogen Car Company and is a member of the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners.

Freeman has been termed an "eco-pioneer" for his environmental friendly leadership of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD). He had done a similar job at the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), after President Jimmy Carter appointed him to head the TVA board in 1977, changing the TVA focus from growth to conservation. Mr. Freeman decided to shutdown several nuclear plants that may have contributed to several rate increases with TVA. He also headed other major energy organizations, including the New York Power Authority and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP).
