David Walter Preus (May 28, 1922 – July 23, 2021) was an American Lutheran minister.
Preus was born on May 28, 1922, in Madison, Wisconsin.
He grew up in Decorah, Iowa, where his father was a pastor and professor at Luther College.
His mother was a musician.
He attended college at Luther College, graduating in 1943.
After college he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in the U.S. Army Signal Intelligence until 1946.
He learned Japanese during duty in the Philippines and in Japan.
After his military service, Preus enrolled in the University of Minnesota Law School for a year.
He then enrolled in Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, and was ordained in 1951.

His first pastorate was in Brookings, South Dakota, where he married Ann Margaret Overgaard Madsen in 1951.
