Template:Realworld Shimon Wincelberg (26 September 192429 September 2004; age 80) was a television writer and playwright who wrote or co-wrote two scripts for first season episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series using the nom de plume S. Bar-David. He also wrote "Lord Bobby's Obsession" for the aborted Star Trek: Phase II series.

His family was forced to flee his native Germany by the Nazi pogroms, arriving in the United States in the late 1930's. He became a professional writer in 1953 with the sale of his first story. Subsequently, he worked steadily on television programs, plays, and books (some with his wife Anita, also a writer). In science fiction circles, he is probably best known for writing the first five-episode arc of the television series Lost in Space, as well as the pilot episode to another Irwin Allen science-fiction series The Time Tunnel.

He died in 2004 in a nursing home in Los Angeles, California, USA following a long illness.
