Dave Kleis (born January 21, 1964) is a Minnesota politician, and the mayor of St. Cloud, Minnesota.

Kleis served in the Minnesota State Senate from 1995 to 2005.[1] In 2005, he defeated incumbent Mayor John Ellenbecker to win election to his current office. Kleis ran for reelection unopposed in 2008 and won after write-in candidate Ryan Fagan, a local college student, dropped out after what could be considered the shortest political campaign in Minnesota history.[2]
