David Wayne Orange (born c. 1931) is a former homicide investigator for the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, assistant to Sheriff Mel Bailey, and member of the Jefferson County Commission from 1982 to 1990.

Orange graduated from Jones Valley High School in 1949.

In 1967 Orange was one of two Jefferson County Deputies that arrested Martin Luther King Jr during his flight from Atlanta to Birmingham to turn himself in on the outstanding charge of parading without a permit, for which he would serve four days in jail.

On September 15, 1970 Orange brought 15 other officers to help serve an eviction notice at a house in Tarrant City where he had been warned that members of the Alabama Black Liberation Front were planning an ambush. Five people inside the house were arrested. Wayland Earl Bryant and Ronald Elliott Williams were charged with felony assault for threatening officers with firearms.
