The Right Honourable David John MacLean (born May 16, 1953) is a United Kingdom politician, and Conservative member of Parliament for Penrith and The Border.
He was elected to the Commons in a by-election in 1983, and served as a junior minister under Margaret Thatcher and John Major. He was seen as a Thatcherite, saying about beggars that 'I always give them something - I give them a piece of my mind.'
He was made Chief Whip of the opposition under Iain Duncan Smith. When Duncan Smith lost a vote of confidence, MacLean tendered his resignation but was reappointed to the position under new leader Michael Howard.
