In this paper, in the framework of nonrelativistic QCD we study the light hadron (LH) decays of the spin-triplet (S=1) D-wave heavy quarkonia. The short-distance coefficients of all Fock states in the {sup 3}D{sub J} (J=1, 2, 3) quarkonia including the D-wave color singlet, P-wave color octet, and S-wave color singlet and color octet are calculated perturbatively at {alpha}{sub s}{sup 3} order. The operator evolution equations of the four-fermion operators are also derived and are used to estimate the numerical values of the long-distance matrix elements. We find that for the cc system, the LH decay widths of {psi}(1{sup 3}D{sub J}) predicted by nonrelativistic QCD is about 2{approx}3 times larger than the phenomenological potential model results, while for the bb system the two theoretical estimations of {Gamma}({Upsilon}(1{sup 3}D{sub J}){yields}LH) are in coincidence with each other. Our predictions for {psi}(1{sup 3}D{sub J}) LH decay widths are {Gamma}({psi}(1{sup 3}D{sub J}){yields}LH)=(435,50,172) keV for J=1, 2, 3; and for {Upsilon}(1{sup 3}D{sub J}), {Gamma}({Upsilon}(1{sup 3}D{sub J}){yields}LH)=(6.91,0.75,2.75) keV for J=1, 2, 3.
