Ibolya Dávid (born 1954 in Baja, Hungary) is a Hungarian lawyer, politician, she was the president of the Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF) between 1999 and 2010. Dávid was the Hungarian Minister of Justice between 1998 and 2002.
In 1998 as the minister of justice of Hungary she didn't sign off on the presidential pardon of Peter Kunos bank CEO, even though the approval for presidential pardons was previously thought to be customary, and always done by the current minister of justice. Due to the lack of approval the pardon didn't come into effect. This happened the first time in the history of the democratic Hungary.[1][2]
She was the only female Minister in the government of Viktor Orbán. After the MDF fraction was disbanded, Dávid was a member of the Hungarian Parliament as an independent. Dávid made the controversial decision to nominate Lajos Bokros, a former minister in Gyula Horn's MSZP government, to the European Parliament election on the MDF party list which led to some members leaving the party.
In the 2010 parliamentary election the Hungarian Democratic Forum continued its downward trend and missed the 5% electoral threshold, leaving it shut out of parliament. Ibolya Dávid resigned on 11 April 2010, after the first round. Károly Herényi became her acting successor.

Hasonló eset ugyanis megtörtént még az első Orbán-kormány idején 1998-ban. Dávid Ibolya akkori igazságügyi miniszter már eleve elutasítási javaslattal terjesztette fel a köztársasági elnöknek Kunos Péter bankvezér kegyelmi kérelmét, de Göncz Árpád végül mégis kegyelmet adott neki. Ez viszont Dávid Ibolyának nem tetszett, és mivel övé volt a végső szó, nem írta alá a kegyelmet. Orbán Viktor pedig erre akkor rábólintott.

Talán a legnagyobb vihart Dávid Ibolya igazságügyi miniszter döntése keltette. Göncz Árpád 1998 őszén elnöki kegyelmet adott Kunos Péter bankárnak, akit egy jogilag vitatott ügyben két év börtönbüntetésre ítéltek.
DÁVID IBOLYA AZONBAN NEM ELLENJEGYEZTE A KEGYELMI HATÁROZATOT, ÍGY ELŐSZÖR FORDULT ELŐ MAGYARORSZÁGON, HOGY A KÖZTÁRSASÁGI ELNÖK NEM ÉLHETETT KEGYELMI JOGÁVAL.
