David Bookbinder (1940/41 – 24 December 2023) was a British Labour Party politician. He was elected to Derbyshire County Council in 1973 and became council leader in 1981. Bookbinder's administration saw the banning of school corporal punishment and the implementation of cheaper school meals. He was frequently opposed to the policies of Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher, in particular over a government request that Derbyshire end its twinning agreement with Shanxi province, China, following the June 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Thatcher called him, at the time, her "least favourite local government leader". Bookbinder stood down from his position as leader in April 1992 after his wife developed breast cancer and from the council in July 1993. In retirement he was chair of an investment company.
