David Raphael ben Abraham Polido

David Raphael ben Abraham Polido (; ) was a Jewish satirist. He wrote Zikhron Purim (), a parody on the piyyutim for Purim, followed by a testament of Haman, a poem full of coarse jokes, but a good imitation of the Sephardic piyyutim (Livorno, 1703).

His name, and the fact that his work was printed in Livorno, suggest that he was an Italian; but Somerhausen reads ('Polonya' or 'Polnia') instead of Polido, whereas Steinschneider interprets it as 'Fulda.'
