Captain Daniel "Danny" Ross is a fictional character portrayed by Eric Bogosian on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Ross is the successor of Capt. James Deakins (Jamey Sheridan). He was given the position of captain of the Major Case Squad as a reward for a successful three-year stint as head of a Joint Task Force on International Money Laundering.

Ross is divorced and has two sons, ages 14 and 10. He is very protective of them; During a case involving a statutory rapist, police detective Mike Logan asks Ross what he would do if either he found out a teacher was having sex with either one of his sons. Ross replied that he would "break [them] in half...male or female." Ross maintains something of a friendship with his ex-wife and her new boyfriend, however. In a 2006 episode, the whole family is seen eating Thanksgiving dinner together.
