David Oreck (born September 17, 1923) is an American salesman, entrepreneur, and businessman. He is the founder of the Oreck Corporation, makers of vacuum cleaners and air purifiers, and is known through his spokesman appearance in Oreck television commercials and infomercials.

Oreck had acquired an abandoned design for an upright vacuum cleaner from Whirlpool and a failing RCA distribution facility in New Orleans, Louisiana.

This 8 lb (3.6 kg) design was a third of the weight of other machines available. Competitors, however, used this fact to criticize his vacuum cleaner's effectiveness and durability. Oreck decided to first market to hotels where lightweight would be a big positive factor. The machines now are used in over hundreds of thousands of hotels worldwide.

Oreck machines are produced in the United States along with the rest of the Oreck line of products. The company employs more than 1,500 hands at the company's retail stores, corporate headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, and production center in Cookeville, Tennesee, where it moved to from Long Beach, Mississippi, in 2007. One such product is the Oreck XL Air 8 Purifier, which featured in an informercial running since 1999.

As Oreck has explained, he had "a good idea, a lot of energy, and no money." Oreck claims it took about 20 years of hard work to begin to achieve a semblance of success, but he was a believer in Winston Churchill's maxim, "Never, never, never give up."

Since 2003 the corporation has been jointly owned by private investment firm American Securities Capital Partners and Tom Oreck.
