David Jahn (born 16 November 1990) is a German racing driver competing in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie for Gamota Racing. He was ADAC GT Masters runner-up in 2016, and Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring champion in 2022 and 2025.

Career Jahn made his car racing debut in 2009, racing in the ADAC Volkswagen Polo Cup, in which he won at Barcelona and finished seventh in points. The following year, Jahn raced in the Porsche Super Sports Cup Germany, scoring a win at the Hockenheimring and ending the year fourth in points. Jahn then competed part-time in Porsche Carrera Cup Germany across the next two years, before joining Farnbacher Racing to compete in the last four rounds of the 2013 ADAC GT Masters season.

In 2014, Jahn joined Callaway-affiliated RWT Racing for his maiden full season in ADAC GT Masters alongside Sven Barth. Racing in all but one rounds, the pair scored their first podium at Slovakia Ring by finishing third in race one, before then scoring their only win of the season at the Nürburgring in race one en route to a 17th-place points finish. During 2014, Jahn also drove for RWT in the final round of the GT Sprint Series in Baku.

Jahn won the 2015 24 Hours of Nürburgring in SP-X for Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus.

After only racing at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in 2015 for Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, Jahn joined Porsche-fielding KÜS Team75 Bernhard in 2016 for his sophomore season in ADAC GT Masters. Partnering a number of drivers including Kévin Estre, Jahn scored victory at the Red Bull Ring, then won at the Nürburgring and Zandvoort, and ended the season with another win at Hockenheimring to secure runner-up honours in points. During 2016, Jahn also made a one-off appearance in the Le Castellet round of the European Le Mans Series in the GTE class for Proton Competition.

Having only made one-off appearances in Porsche Carrera Cup cars for two years, Jahn returned to RWT Racing's Corvette for the 2019 ADAC GT Masters season. In his reunion with Sven Barth, Jahn scored podiums at Most and Red Bull Ring as he ended the year seventh in points. Returning to KÜS Team75 Bernhard for the 2020 season, Jahn guided rookie Jannes Fittje to a best result of fourth twice and finished the season 17th in the overall standings. Switching to fellow Porsche customer Team Joos Sportwagentechnik for 2021, Jahn scored a best result of sixth twice en route to a 15th-place points finish at season's end.

Remaining with W&S Motorsport for 2023, Jahn joined Jannes Fittje to compete in ADAC GT4 Germany. In his only season in the series, Jahn won at Zandvoort and Hockenheimring as well as taking three more podiums to end the year third in points. Continuing with W&S Motorsport for 2024, Jahn returned to Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring's Cup2 class full-time, in which he scored two class wins and finished runner-up in points. Staying in the series for 2025 but switching to Mühlner Motorsport, Jahn won all but three races to secure the Cup2 Pro title at the end of the year.
