David Julian Winnick (born 26 June 1933) is a British Labour Party politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Walsall North since 1979. Previously he was the MP for Croydon South from 1966 to 1970.
Born into a British Jewish family, Winnick was an advertising manager and a branch chairman of the Clerical and Administrative Workers Union. He was a councillor from 1959 on Willesden Borough Council, then on the London Borough of Brent.
After unsuccessfully fighting Harwich in 1964, Winnick was elected in 1966 as MP for Croydon South (now the area covered roughly by Croydon Central constituency), defeating incumbent Richard Thompson. He lost the seat to Thompson in 1970. After completing a diploma in social administration at the London School of Economics, he stood again in Croydon Central in October 1974 and was returned for Walsall North in 1979.
