Rees, who joined Leeds at the start of last season from Bristol, has 11 caps for England and had a year to run on his previous deal before agreeing a new contract.
Director of Rugby Phil Davies said, "I'm delighted we have reached this new agreement and I look forward to seeing David progress this season. He impressed everyone at Leeds last season with his attitude despite having an injury set back. Hopefully with a good off season we can see the best of him in the coming two years."
Rees, who has previously played for Sale, added, "I've really been enjoying myself here. I feel my rugby has come on a lot with the coaching staff we have and the whole set-up. I hope I can further develop as a player and achieve a lot more over these next two seasons. With the players we've signed over the summer I think we can and I'm really looking forward to the campaign."
