Isak Dawid van Zyl (born 30 August 1944)[1] is a South African politician who represented the National Party in the National Assembly during the first democratic Parliament. He was elected in the 1994 general election[2] and was a member of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts.[3]

Van Zyl resigned from his seat near the end of the legislative term in order to defect to the new Afrikaner Eenheidsbeweging (AEB).[4][5] In the 1999 general election, he stood as a candidate for the AEB, ranked second on the party's national list;[1] however, the party won only one seat, which went to party leader Cassie Aucamp.
