David Lambert

David Arthur Charles Lambert (2 September 1933 – 19 May 2023) was a British textile and garment workers' trade union leader.

Lambert grew up in Hitchin in Hertfordshire, where he attended the Hitchin Boys' School. On leaving school, he found work making hosiery for a large company, and joined the National Union of Hosiery and Knitwear Workers (NUHKW). From 1964, he worked full-time for the union, and he was elected as its general secretary in 1975.

In 1982, Lambert changed roles to become the general president of the NUHKW. He led the union into a merger which formed the National Union of Knitwear, Footwear and Apparel Trades (KFAT), and continued as general president of the new union until 1994.

In 1992, he also became the president of the International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers' Federation, retiring in 1996.
