Saint Danilo II the Serb (Serbian Cyrillic: Свети Данило II српски) is a saint of the Serbian Orthodox Church. He was originally an archbishop during the heyday of the Serb Nemanjić state under Tsar Dušan Silni in the 14th century. He was a chronicler who wrote many hagiographies and regiographies which are considered as a part of Serb medieval literature.

He is celebrated on the same day as Saint Ignatius of Antioch (Serbian Cyrillic: Свети Игњатије Богоносац), on December 20 according to the Julian (January 2 by the contemporary Gregorian calendar).
