'''Daniel''' ({{langx|ru|Даниил}}; before 1492 – May 22, 1547) was [[List of metropolitans and patriarchs of Moscow|Metropolitan of Moscow and all Rus']], the [[Primate (bishop)|primate]] of the [[Russian Orthodox Church]], from 1522 to 1539. He was the eighth metropolitan in Moscow to be appointed without the approval of the [[Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople]] as had been the norm.

He represented the belligerent ecclesiastic circle that was interested in alliance with the princely authority.
