David Montagu Erskine, 2nd Baron Erskine (12 August 1776 – 19 March 1855) was a British diplomat and politician.

He served as Member of Parliament for Portsmouth in 1806 before being appointed Minister to the United States. Erskine was recalled in 1809 due to his resolution of the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair and remained out of favor until 1824 when he inherited his father's title. He later served as Minister to Stuttgart and Munich before retiring in 1843. Erskine married three times, with his first wife, Frances Cadwalader, bearing twelve children. He died in 1855 and was succeeded by his eldest son, Thomas.
