Dave Sardy (more commonly known as D Sardy) is an American rock and roll musician and record producer.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Sardy was active as a singer, songwriter and guitarist (most notably with his group Barkmarket), but since the mid-1990s, he has been more active as a producer and/or mixer. He has worked mostly with hard rock, punk, heavy metal and industrial rock performers; Critics have called him a "Hardcore super-producer."[1]

1990 saw some of Sardy's earliest recording credits: as a guitarist on Marc Ribot's Rootless Cosmopolitans (his name was misspelled "Sardi") and on Barkmarket's Vegas Throat the record that brought the group wider acclaim after a string of independent releases. He also played guitar on Frank Black's 1993 solo debut.

Barkmarket was active from about 1987 to 1996. In addition to being the group's singer, songwriter and guitarist, Sardy also produced, recorded and/or remixed most (if not all) their albums. This probably helped his nascent career as a producer: though often loud and aggressive, Barkmarket's albums are full of interesting sounds, textures and recording techniques.
