{{Short description|German composer}}
''' David Kellner''' (1670 – 6 April 1748) was a German composer of the [[Baroque music|Baroque period]] and a contemporary of [[Bach]].

Kellner was born in [[Liebertwolkwitz]], near [[Leipzig]]. Apart from compositions for the [[lute]], which are today highly regarded, he wrote on the [[theory of music]] and particularly on writing for [[equal temperament]]. His diagram of the [[circle of fifths]] is the earliest extant example of the modern layout with major keys and minor keys in two concentric circles, the major immediately outside its [[relative minor]].
