David Alexander Gledson (1877 – 14 May 1949) was an accountant and member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly. He was born in Saintfield, County Down, Ireland and arrived in Queensland with his family in 1885. He was educated at Bundamba State School and the Ipswich Technical College, and later in life he attended night classes to qualify as an accountant.
He worked at the Bundamba coal mines and was inspired by the union ideals of Gilbert Casey. After a strike in 1905 he helped to found the Queensland Colliery Employees’ Union. In 1908 he was employed full-time by the union as its secretary. He won the seat of Ipswich in the 1915 Queensland state election and held it until Labor’s defeat in 1929, winning the seat back when Labor was returned to power in 1932. This time he remained the member up until his death in
