David Bolarinwa is a British sprinter.

At the inaugural 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore, Bolarinwa won a bronze medal at the 100 metres, behind Odane Skeen and Masaki Nashimoto. He had entered the race as the favourite, since he ran a world leading 10.39 sec just two weeks earlier, and was the fastest in the qualifying heats.

Competing for Woolwich Polytechnic School, Bolarinwa won 100 m at the 2010 UK School Games, breaking his own school games record to finish in 10.81 seconds.

Bolarinwa's personal best of 10.39 sec is the second-fastest by an under-17 year old in the UK, second only to Mark Lewis-Francis' 10.31 sec in 1999.

His twin brother David is a semi-professional footballer, who played for Staines Town F.C., Hitchin Town F.C. and Welling United F.C..
