Uncle Dave Macon (October 7, 1870 - March 22, 1952) was an American farmer, banjo player, singer, songwriter and comedian.

Born David Harrison Macon in Smart Station , Tennessee, Macon farmed for many years, playing a banjo as a hobby. At age fifty, he joined a vaudeville touring company, putting on a comedy show and playing old-time music on a banjo. Immediately popular, within a few years he was in New York City making country phonograph records that became almost instant bestsellers and at age fifty-six he was one of the first stars of the Grand Ole Opry on WSM radio in Nashville.

Dubbed "Uncle Dave" because of his grizzled appearance, Macon was part of what has become known as the Bristol sessions when he and others began made records at a new recording studio in Bristol, Tennessee rather than having to travel all the way to New York City.

Dave Macon continued to perform until his passing in 1952 at age eighty-one. In 1966, he was inducted posthumously into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
