David Macklin

David Drury Macklin (1 September 1928 – 29 March 2015) was a British international rower.

Macklin was born in Cambridge in 1928. He attended St John's College, Cambridge, and rowed for Cambridge in the 1951 Boat Race in which Oxford sank. This forced a re-row which Cambridge won by 12 lengths. He and his college crew also won the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley in 1951, the last college crew to do so.

Macklin became the chief executive of Devon County Council. He died on 29 March 2015, survived by his wife Janet and their four children. In the 2016 Boat Races, Macklin's granddaughter Fiona Macklin rowed for Cambridge.
