David Clennon (born 10 May 1943; age 80) is the American actor who, in 1998, played Doctor Crell Moset as the Medical Consultant Program Beta one in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Nothing Human". A die-hard political activist, Clennon is almost as well known for his "hands-on" approach in politics as he is for his acting roles. He was born in Waukegan, Illinois.

He is best known for his Emmy Award-nominated role as Miles Drentell on the television series thirtysomething, a role which he reprised on Once and Again. Clennon later won an Emmy for his performance in an episode of Dream On entitled "For Peter's Sake", playing the title character. Fellow Voyager guest actor Michael McKean also guest-starred in this episode, while fellow Cardassian performer Paul Dooley and TNG guest star Chris Demetral were regulars on the series.

In 1981, he had a role in the musical comedy Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains, as did Brent Spiner. He also appeared in two films featuring his Voyager co-star Robert Picardo: Star 80 in 1983 and Matinee ten years later. The latter also featured Dick Miller and William Schallert. Clennon is also known for his role as windbag New York Assistant District Attorney Blanchard in the 1986 crime-comedy film Legal Eagles which had in the cast, Robert Curtis-Brown and fellow VOY guest star Bruce French.

Clennon was more recently a part of the ensemble cast of the 2004 political comedy Silver City; also among this film's co-stars was Miguel Ferrer. The following year, Clennon appeared as the assistant Attorney General in the policital drama Syriana.
