David Abelevich Kaufman (Дави́д А́белевич Ка́уфман; Denis Kaufman; pseudonym Dziga Vertov; Дзи́га Ве́ртов) was a Soviet pioneer documentary film, newsreel director and cinema theorist. His filming practices and theories influenced the cinéma vérité style of documentary moviemaking and the Dziga Vertov Group, a radical filmmaking cooperative which was active in the 1960s.

Vertov's brothers Boris Kaufman and Mikhail Kaufman were also noted filmmakers, as was his wife, Elizaveta Svilova.
