[[Admiral (Royal Navy)|Admiral]] '''Sir David Murray Anderson''', {{postnominals|country=GBR|size=100|sep=,|KCB|KCMG|MVO}} (11 April 1874 – 30 October 1936) was a British naval officer and governor. Anderson served in the [[Royal Navy]] from the age of 13 and served in many colonial wars and was given various Empire postings, rising to the rank of admiral in 1931. He retired a year later and took up the posting as [[List of Newfoundland and Labrador lieutenant-governors|Governor of Newfoundland]], where he also took up the role of Chairman of the Government following the suspension of self-government in the [[Dominion of Newfoundland]]. Leaving Newfoundland in 1935, he was appointed as [[Governor of New South Wales]] but served only briefly due to his ill health. He died while in office aged 62.<ref name=book>{{cite book| last =Clune| first =David|author2=Turner, Ken | title =The Governors of New South Wales: 1788–2010| publisher =Federation Press| year =2009| location =Sydney| pages =473–495}}</ref>
