David T. Ho is an American scientist who works as a professor at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. He is known for his work on air-sea gas transfer, mangrove carbon cycling, tracer oceanography, and ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR). He is often quoted in the media on CDR and climate change, and was recommended by the New York Times as a climate scientist to follow on social media.

Ho also created the Bamboo Bike Project, with John Mutter in 2006, which has spurred growth in the number of groups and companies creating bamboo bicycles around the world.
