The Davidstein ("David`s Stone") is an erratic boulder in Neustadt am Rübenberge (Lower Saxony/Germany). It is a granite gneiss with feldspar inclusions. With its hight of 2.5 m, circumference of 5 m and weight of 60 t it is the second biggest boulder (after the Giebichenstein) in Lower Saxony.

Local legends connect it to the Goliathstein ("Goliath`s Stone"). These two stones sometines get confused by visitors, because the entire geotope area is called Goliathstein. Moreover, the Goliathstein is smaller today, because it was blown up at the begining of the 20th century.
