David G. Monette (born 1956, Kalamazoo, Michigan) is an American craftsman who designs and builds custom brass instruments and mouthpieces for musicians.

Monette's experience as a trumpeter and the influence of acoustician Arthur Benade led Monette to redesign the trumpet mouthpiece with the goal of improving playability and sound quality. Since the first mouthpieces reached the market in 1985, Monette has made mouthpieces for tuba, trombone, B♭, C, D, E♭ trumpet, and A and B♭ piccolo trumpet.
