David Harvie was a professional footballer who played as a full back in the Southern League for Bristol Rovers between 1910 and 1920.

Harvie joined Rovers in 1910 from Scottish side Stevenston Thistle, on a recommendation from former Bristol Rovers player James Young, and his tough style of play earned him the nickname 'Hit him' Harvey. He retired from football in 1920, after a war-interrupted ten years with the Bristol club.
