David Frank "Tim" Mason (21 November 1923 — 3 July 1981) was a New Zealand rugby union international.

Born in Wellington, Mason was the younger brother of playwright Bruce Mason and attended Wellington College.

Mason, a wing three-quarter from Wellington College Old Boys, was on the 1947 tour of Australia with the All Blacks and scored a try in his solitary Test appearance, a 27–14 win over the Wallabies at the SCG. He took the field as a first-half replacement for injured winger Wally Argus and got his try on full-time, gathering a kick from Bob Scott.

In 1948, Mason relocated to South Africa, where he played for Union (Cape Town) and Western Province. He remained in South Africa for the remainder of his life, working as an insurance executive.
