Daniel ben Jacob of Grodno (Hebrew: דניאל בן יעקב, romanizedDaniyel ben Yaʻaḳov; died April 30, 1807) was a Russian halakhist. He served as dayyan in Grodno for forty years.

He was the author of Ḥamude Daniel ('The Precious Things of Daniel'), on questions concerning the preparation of food (Grodno, 1810). His opinions are frequently mentioned in Tzvi Hirsch Eisenstadt's widely used work, Pitḥe Teshuvah, on Yoreh De'ah.
