David Seth-Smith FZS, MBOU (9 March 1875 – 30 October 1963) was a British zoologist, wildlife artist, nature broadcaster and author.

His career included spells as Curator of Mammals and Birds for the Zoological Society of London and editor of the Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club and the Avicultural Magazine. In 1905 he was appointed a member of council for the Zoological Society and was awarded the society's Silver Medal in 1908. He later presented nature programmes on the BBC's Children's Hour under the name "The Zoo Man", and also "Friends from the Zoo" on BBC Television, giving his first broadcast in 1932.[1][2] He illustrated and photographed many animals and birds in captivity and is credited for taking the only known photographs of the now extinct pink-headed duck.[3]

By 1945, he was a Fellow of the Zoological Society; Member of the British Ornithologists' Union; Hon. Fellow, New York Zoological Society; Corresponding Fellow, American Ornithologists' Union; and Corresponding Member, Societe National d'Acclimatation de France.[4]

He was the first-born son of William Seth Smith (1824–1887), by his second marriage to Catherine Sarah (nee Edwards). He married firstly Mary, daughter of James Benjamin Scott and his wife Sarah, on 11 June 1900, and they had four children. Following her death, he married secondly Heather (nee Heydemann), on 11 January 1946. His grandfather was the developer Seth Smith, who built large portions of Mayfair and Belgravia in the West End, and his half-brother, William Howard Seth-Smith III was also a noted architect.[5][6]
