David Silberman Gurovich (1939–c. 1974) was a Chilean civil engineer and public official who served as the general manager of the Chuquicamata copper mine during the presidency of Salvador Allende. A member of the Communist Party of Chile, Silberman held a prominent role in the administration of the country's nationalized copper industry.
Following the Chilean coup d'état on September 11, 1973, Silberman voluntarily presented himself to military authorities in Calama. He was subsequently tried by a military council and sentenced to thirteen years in prison for his political affiliations and activities. He was initially held in the Calama prison before being transferred to the Santiago Public Prison.
In October 1974, while still serving his sentence, Silberman was removed from the prison by agents of the Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional (DINA), the secret police of the military dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet. Witnesses reported that he was taken to the Cuartel Yucatán (London 38) and the Villa Grimaldi detention centers. Following his removal from the legal prison system, Silberman became a victim of forced disappearance.
In the decades following the return to democracy in Chile, legal investigations were conducted into his case. In 2009, the Chilean Supreme Court upheld convictions against several former DINA agents, including Manuel Contreras, for the kidnapping and disappearance of Silberman. He remains listed officially as a "detenido desaparecido" (detained-disappeared).
