David Haskell Hackworth (November 11, 1930 ? May 4, 2005) was a retired United States Army colonel and prominent military journalist.

Hackworth began his military career during the Korean War, where he served as a sergeant. He was awarded several medals for valor along with multiple Purple Hearts for being wounded several times. He subsequently volunteered for a second tour in Korea, this time with the 40th Infantry Division. Later, he would serve in the Vietnam war as a major. He retired at the rank of colonel.

After his retirement, Hackworth began working as a contributing editor on defense issues for “Newsweek”. He also made regular television appearances to discuss various military-related topics, and the shortcomings of the military. His commentary on the psychological effects of post-traumatic stress disorder, based on his own experiences in overcoming the disorder, resonated with disabled veterans.

He died from bladder cancer in May, 2005.
