David Price (1809–78) was a Welsh Independent minister at Aberdare. He played a formative role in the development of this industrial community during the nineteenth century and, in addition to his religious activities, became a member of the Aberdare School Board and sought to play a conciliatory role during industrial disputes such as the Aberdare Strike of 1857–8. Price died on 5 December 1868, shortly before his 68th birthday. He was buried at Aberdare Cemetery.
