Daniel Joseph Greene (c. 1850 – December 12, 1911) was a Newfoundland politician who briefly served as the colony's Premier.
A year after the controversial 1893 elections Whiteway's government was dismissed by the governor Arthur Murray due to petitions alleging corrupt electoral practices.
Murray appointed Tory leader Augustus F. Goodridge as the new premier and helped the minority government stay in office.
Greene had become acting Liberal leader due to the disbarment of Whiteway from holding electoral office.
Specifically, it allowed Whiteway to return as Premier which occurred on February 8, 1895 when Greene resigned.
