David P. Kingdon (1934–2021[1]) was a British pastor. He served as principal of the Irish Baptist College from 1964 to 1974.[2]

Kingdom attended Spurgeon's Orphanage,[3] and was converted in 1949. He studied at the Reigate Grammar School, Peterhouse, Cambridge and Spurgeon's College and served as a pastor before his appointment to the Irish Baptist College.[4]

Kingdon was a Reformed Baptist. He wrote Children of Abraham: A Reformed Baptist View of the Covenants.[5] J. Douma notes that Kingdon's view is a distinctly Reformed defence of believer's baptism: "He wants to adopt the Reformed standpoint by not cutting the ties between the Old and New Testament."[6]
