David Michael Ritchie Park (1935 to 1990) was a British computer scientist. He worked on the first implementation of the programming language Lisp, and he became an authority on fairness, program schemas and bisimulation in concurrent computing, topics that lie between the theory of programs and the study of parallel processes. At the University of Warwick he was one of the earliest members of the computer science department and served as its chairperson. He is also remembered as the doctoral supervisor of Mike Paterson at the University of Cambridge.
