David N. Chartrand, OM (born January 23, 1960) is a Canadian Métis politician and activist. He has served as the elected President of the Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) since 1997, making him the longest-serving president in the federation's history. He is currently serving an eighth term following the 2022 election. From 1997 to 2021, he was also a member of the Board of Governors of the Métis National Council.
