David Melville, DD (5 February 1813 – 8 March 1904) was a Church of England priest and university administrator.
Educated initially at Shrewsbury School,[1] he was subsequently awarded a scholarship to Brasenose College, Oxford, where after graduating he was ordained as a clergyman. He became a University don,[2] and one of his scholars was William Ward, 1st Earl of Dudley.[3] In 1846 he left Oxford and moved to Durham where he founded Bishop Hatfield's Hall.[4] He was Canon of Worcester Cathedral until he resigned in late 1902.[5]
He married Emma Hill at Kilcoo, County Down on 28 July 1848.[6]
