Areneo David is a Malawian competitive archer. ^[1] At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, David etched a historic mark for Malawi as the first ever archer to compete in an Olympic tournament, shooting only in the men's individual recurve through a tripartite invitation. ^[2] For the 72-arrow qualifying round, David discharged 603 points out of a possible 720 to take the sixty-second spot from a field of 64 archers, before he faced his initial challenge against the third-seeded Italian archer David Pasqualucci, which led to his abrupt departure from the tournament at 0–6. ^{[3] [4]}

At the 2020 Summer Olympics, he competed in the men's individual event. ^[5]
