David García Almansa (born 22 January 2006) is a Spanish Grand Prix motorcycle racer who competes for Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP aboard a KTM in the Moto3 World Championship in 2026.
Almansa started racing in Spain early, winning his first championship by the age of 13. Later on, he raced in the Spanish Cuna de Campeones Moto5 championship, finishing as runner-up in 2018 before winning the title in 2019.
In 2021, Almansa moved to the European Talent Cup, winning in his first weekend and finishing 11th in the championship, despite missing two races. For 2022, Almansa moved up again, this time going to the FIM JuniorGP World Championship. In his first season in the category, he finished eighth, winning in the season finale. In 2023, for his second season in the category, he won another race, but dropped to ninth in the championship after missing the final two races.
Almansa made his debut in the Moto3 World Championship at the last round of 2022, as a wildcard for Boé Motorsports. He qualified 22nd and finished 25th, in a field of 32 bikes.
Following an injury sustained by regular rider Joel Kelso, Almansa was called up to replace him for the Argentinian and Americas rounds of the 2023 Moto3 World Championship at CFMoto Racing Prüstel GP. He would end up finishing 17th in both of his starts for the team.
Almansa made wild card appearances in the three Spanish rounds in the 2023 season for Finetwork Intact GP, although he would end up withdrawing from the season finale in Valencia after Free Practice One due to an injury. In his two starts, he had a best result of 20th, coming in his first one at Jerez.
Due to an injury sustained by Romano Fenati, Almansa was called up to race for the Rivacold Snipers Team, racing for his fourth manufacturer in six starts, at the Japanese Grand Prix. He would finish 17th.
Almansa would join the team full time for the 2024 Moto3 World Championship, as he attempted to make his first full season. He would miss the first three races and end up finishing 22nd, scoring 18 points with a best finish of 11th, which he achieved at the San Marino and Malaysian rounds of the season.
Almansa moved to the Leopard Racing team for 2025, where he found much better results than in 2024. He scored his first top-ten in Moto3 at the Buriram opener, adding more through the season. Almansa scored his first pole position at Barcelona, scoring a second one at Sepang. In the same race, he also earned his best finish of third, after the disqualification of his teammate.

On October 5, 2025, it was announced Almansa would switch to Dynavolt Intact GP for the 2026 season. In his first start with the team at Buriram, Almansa won his first world championship race. In the Catalaonia round, Almansa scored his first fastest lap in Moto3. Almansa then scored back to back pole positions for the first time in his Grand Prix career, scoring three in a row at the Italian, Hungarian and Czech rounds of the season. He had to miss the Italian Grand Prix due to Tonsillitis developing overnight. In Hungary, he was able to score his second podium of the season, taking second place. In Brno, he finished fourth, being involved in the battle for the win. At the Dutch TT, he would score his third podium of the season, finishing second after being beaten in a duel by Máximo Quiles. This result ensured Almansa returned to the top-three in the championship for the first time since winning in Thailand. At the following round in Germany, Almansa was forced to withdraw following the second free practice session due to a case of influenza. In the British round at Silverstone, Almansa earned his second win of the season, and of his career. This result allowed him to retake third in the championship, which he had lost following his failure to start in Germany. In Aragon, another pole position was converted into a second place finish, once again behind Quiles. The same result was repeated at the San Marino Grand Prix. This result saw him move into second in the world championship. Another pole position came at the Japanese Grand Prix, but this time he was able to defeat Quiles in a battle for the win. Almansa finished second again in Indonesia, consolidating his place in second in the championship, but Quiles winning meant Almansa could no longer win the world championship. Almansa won a fourth round of Moto3 in Qatar, bringing him to the brink of securing second in the world championship.
On September 20, 2026, it was announced Almansa would be promoted by Dynavolt Intact GP to Moto2 for the 2027 season.
