David Kolb (born 1941) is a well-known philosopher and the Charles A. Dana Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Bates College in Maine.

Kolb received a B.A. from Fordham University in 1963 and an M.A. in 1965. He later received a M.Phil. from Yale University in 1970 and a Ph. D. in 1972. Kolb's Dissertation was titled "Conceptual Pluralism and Rationality."

Professor Kolb taught at the University of Chicago before moving to Bates in 1977. He has written many articles and published several books including: Postmodern Sophistications: Philosophy, Architecture, and Tradition (1990), New Perspectives on Hegel's Philosophy of Religion (1992), Socrates in the Labyrinth: Hypertext, Argument, Philosophy (1994) and The Critique of Pure Modernity: Hegel, Heidegger, and After (1987).
