Daniel Gaskell (11 September 1782 – 20 December 1875) was a British Liberal Party politician. He was elected at the 1832 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the newly enfranchised borough of Wakefield in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He claimed to have attached himself to no party and often voted with Radical and Irish MPs. This prompted joint Whig Conservative opposition at subsequent elections. He was re-elected in 1835,at the same election that returned his nephew, James Milnes Gaskell as M.P. for Wenlock.
