Dave Nystrom (born May 27, 1971) is a Canadian comedian and writer based in Calgary, Alberta.
Originally from Thunder Bay, Ontario, he moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1994 to attend the Vancouver Film School, becoming a regular performer at Vancouver-area comedy clubs.
In 2005 he headlined his own Comedy Now! special on The Comedy Network, and he later joined the writing team for This Hour Has 22 Minutes.
Following a number of years living in the United States, he moved back to Canada in the late 2010s, settling in Calgary because it was his wife's hometown. He has since returned to performing in Canadian comedy clubs, and has also had occasional supporting acting roles in film and television.
