Daniel Gran (22 May 1694 in Vienna – 16 April 1757 in Sankt Pölten), was an Austrian painter.

He was of some consideration in his time and after a century of Italian dominance one of the first important painters of the German-speaking countries, but his works are relatively unknown outside of Austria and Germany today.

In the absence of documentation, the verifiability of his nobility in the Registry of Vienna Gratialarchivs is doubtful.

A wrongful use of noble titles and predicates would have been unthinkable in the time and exposed the social position of the artist.

[2] Towards the end of his career, his paintings appear increasingly less "Baroque" (in figural dimensions, illusionism).
