David James Hartigan (8 November 1887 – 16 January 1952) was a Liberal party member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was born in Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia and became a physician.
Hartigan attended parochial school at North Sydney and high school at Sydney Mines. In 1916, he made an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly.[1]
