David Kreizman (born 1974) is a writer for American soap operas.

Kreizman has been part of the writing team for the long running CBS daytime drama, Guiding Light, since the late 1990's. In 2004, he was promoted to the position of head writer by newly appointed executive producer Ellen Wheeler. He replaced writer Ellen Weston, whose storylines proved to be very unpopular. Much was made of Kreizman's age at the time of his appointment as head writer (he was 29).

Under Kreizman's watch, several new stories were introduced, most notably the introduction of Reva's illegitimate son Jonathan Randall (portrayed by Tom Pelphrey), who proved to be much darker and volatile than many previous GL characters. The story engendered further controversy with Jonathan's actions; before anyone realized his true identity, he seduced his cousin Tammy, which initially caused her much anguish after his identity was revealed. The story wandered into further controversy when Tammy and Jonathan became a couple.

Veteran GL viewers have been less than enthusiastic about some of Kreizman's storylines, most notably the murder of long-time character Phillip Spaulding and the perceived misuse of complex antiheroine Holly Norris Lindsey Reade in an action-adventure storyline.
