David Unaipon (lahir David Ngunaitponi) (28 September 1872 – 7 Februari 1967) adalah seorang penduduk asli Australia^[2] berlatar belakang Ngarrindjeri yang dikenal sebagai seorang penemu, penulis dan pengkhotbah. Kontribusinya kepada masyarakat Australia menunjukkan kesalahan berbagai stereotipe penduduk asli Australia. Ia ditampilkan dalam uang kertas 50 dollar Australia untuk menghormatinya.

Salah satu penemuannya yang paling penting adalah mesin pencukur bulu domba yang mengubah gerakan lengkung menjadi lurus, tetapi mesin ini diperkenalkan tanpa menghargai peran Unaipon sebagai penemunya.^[3] Penemuannya yang lain adalah motor sentrifugal, roda multi-radial dan alat pendorong mekanik. Ia juga dikenal sebagai Leonardo da Vinci Australia karena ide-idenya seperti rancangan helikopter pra-Perang Dunia I yang ia buat berdasarkan asas bumerang, penelitiannya mengenai polarisasi cahaya, dan upayanya untuk mewujudkan gerak abadi.^[4]

The only primary source for the name Nymbulda is George Taplin. The Yaraldi genealogy compiled by Ronald Berndt names her as Nymberindjeri with Nymbulda being her father's first wife, and there was also another of that name married to another relative. It can not be ruled out that she was known by both names. Indigenous tradition required that after a death, the deceased persons name could no longer be used and those with the same name would take a new name.
