David Blain (August 12, 1832 – May 6, 1909) was a Scottish-born Canadian lawyer, teacher and political figure. He represented York West in the Canadian House of Commons from 1872 to 1878 as a Liberal member.[1]
He was born near Ayr,[1] the son of John Blain and Elizabeth McCutcheon, and came to Canada West with his parents in 1842. He was educated in Scotland and at the University of Toronto.[2] Blain was called to the bar in 1860 and set up practice in Toronto, partnering for a time with Albert Prince. In 1867, he married Eliza Harrington. He retired from the practice of law in 1868.[3] Blain was defeated in a bid for reelection in 1878.[1] He died in Toronto at the age of 76.[4]
