- David Thomas Kemp, FRS (born 24 February 1945) is a Professor working at the UCL Ear Institute. He was educated at King's College London (BSc, 1966; AKC; PhD, 1970).
- He discovered the phenomenon of otoacoustic emission in July 1978 while working at the Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital.
- He founded a company that makes equipment to test for hearing defects by detecting otacoustic emission, which is absent in the ears of people suffering deafness caused by neural impairment.
- Because the method does not require any cooperation from the subject, it is valuable for detecting deafness in babies. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2004.
