David Américo Ortiz Arias (Santo Domingo, 18 de novembro de 1975) é um ex-jogador dominicano de beisebol. Jogou pelo Boston Red Sox de 2003 a 2016. Antes, jogou pelo Minnesota Twins (1997-2002). Atuou como primeira base e rebatedor designado em sua carreira.
Ídolo em Boston, Ortiz é reconhecido por crescer nos momentos decisivos. Foi peça-chave na conquista da Série Mundial em 2004, sendo especialmente lembrado pelas finais da Liga Americana contra o New York Yankees, quando foi o MVP. Em 22 de setembro de 2006, ele quebrou o recorde do Red Sox de home runs numa temporada, estabelecido em 1938 por Jimmie Foxx, rebatendo seu 51º e terminando a temporada com 54 — que também é o recorde de home runs para um rebatedor designado. Ademais, é o primeiro jogador na história do clube a rebater 40 ou mais home runs em três temporadas seguidas (2004-06).
O Boston Red Sox aposentou o número 34 de Ortiz em 24 de junho de 2017 e a cidade de Boston renomeou uma rua em homenagem ao dominicano.
