Daniel Appleton (December 10, 1785 - March 27, 1849) was an American publisher.

He was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts, where he entered the dry-goods business, then moved to Boston to follow the same business, and finally to New York where he gradually combined the importing of books with the dry-goods trade.

Later, he devoted himself to the book business, publishing his first book in 1831. The firm which he established, known ever since as D. Appleton & Co., was continued by his descendants.

On December 18, 1791 Daniel married Hannah Adams (1791-1859) who bore him eight children:

  • William Henry Appleton (1814 - 1899)
  • Maria Louisa Appleton (1815 - ?)
  • John Adams Appleton (1817 - 1881)
  • Charles Horatio Appleton (1819 - 1820)
  • George Swett Appleton (1821 - 1878)
  • Daniel Sidney Appleton (1824 - ?)
  • Samuel Frances Appleton (1826 - ?)
  • Sarah Emeline Appleton (1829 - ?)
