Daniel Mowatt (May 9, 1848 – October 22, 1923 ) was a merchant and political figure in Saskatchewan (then the Northwest Territories), Canada. He represented South Regina in the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories from 1891 to 1898 as a Conservative. While a member of the assembly, Mowat proposed that English be the sole language of instruction in schools in the Northwest Territories. A compromise was reached that allowed a course in French at the primary level. He moved to British Columbia and so retired from territorial politics in the 1890s.
