David Samwell (October 15, 1751 November 23, 1798) was a Welsh naval surgeon and poet. He is known by the pseudonym Dafydd Ddu Feddyg. The journal of his experiences aboard Captain James Cook's ship Discovery provide a detailed account of the third and last voyages of Cook to the Pacific Ocean. Part of the journal describes the death of Captain Cook at the hands of natives on the Sandwich Islands in 1779.
