Daniel Hall (November 20, 1819 – July 17, 1895) was an American lawyer, Republican politician, and Wisconsin pioneer. He was the 25th speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly, and represented Jefferson County for three terms in the Assembly. Earlier in his career, he served as district attorney of Jefferson County from 1857 to 1859.
