David Benjamin Tendlar (August 8 1909 - September 9 1993) was an American animator. He is best known for his work with Fleischer Studio and its successor, Famous Studios.

Tendlar was born in Dayton, Ohio. He joined Fleischer Studio in 1931, where he worked on Betty Boop, Popeye the Sailor, and many other shorts, as well as Fleischer's two feature-length animated films. Tendlar moved to Famous Studios after Paramount Studios foreclosed on Fleischer and reorganized the company. He later did work for Terrytoons and Hanna-Barbera. In addition to his animation work, Tendlar moonlighted as a comic book artist, providing illustrations for Jingle Jangle Comics and Harvey Comics.

Tendlar died in Los Angeles, California at the age of 84.
