David O. Stewart (born April 2, 1951) is an American author and attorney who writes both nonfiction historical narratives and historical fiction and lives in Garrett Park, Maryland. His books include Madison's Gift: Five Partnerships That Built America; The Lincoln Deception; American Emperor: Aaron Burr's Challenge to Jefferson's America, Impeached: The Trial of President Andrew Johnson and the Fight for Lincoln's Legacy, and The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution. His novels include The Lincoln Deception, The Wilson Deception, and The Babe Ruth Deception.

His first book, The Summer of 1787, examines the creation of the United States Constitution, and grows out of his own experience as a constitutional lawyer. Stewart's experience in defending a Senate impeachment trial provided the spur to write about the first presidential impeachment in Impeached: The Trial of President Andrew Johnson and the Fight for Lincoln's Legacy (2009). In American Emperor: Aaron Burr's Challenge to Jefferson's America (2011), he explored another key legal battle in American history, the treason trial of former Vice President Aaron Burr for planning a private invasion of Spanish lands in North America and inviting the secession of America's Western territories. In February 2015, Simon & Schuster released Stewart's next nonfiction book, Madison's Gift: Five Partnerships that Built America.
