Dav is a name used for several different acts and people. One entry refers to Dave Walsh, who plays stage right guitar for The Explosion and records his own material under the name Dav, including Dav's Endless Pleasures, which he makes using a home studio. Another refers to David Inkpen, described as a one-man band from London. A further entry uses DAV as an alias for a figure linked to the release of tracks associated with NEW WORLD ORDER, with most of that material later appearing only on YouTube after removal from streaming platforms.

The name is also associated with Japan, where the artist is noted as だぶちゃん.
