Lieutenant-General Daniel Webb (c. 1700 – 11 November 1773) was a British Army officer best known for his actions during the French and Indian War.

[citation needed] He participated in British military operations around Lake George in 1757, which culminated in the siege of Fort William Henry.

Believing a French prisoner's report that besieging forces under the command of Louis-Joseph de Montcalm were 11,000-men strong, Webb refused to send any of his approximately 1,600 troops north to relieve the British garrison at Fort William Henry, since Webb's men were all that stood between the French and Albany, New York.

[1] He was subsequently recalled due to his actions; British Indian Department official William Johnson later wrote that Webb was "the only Englishman [I] ever knew who was a coward".

[4] In American writer James Fenimore Cooper's 1826 novel The Last of the Mohicans, Webb is portrayed as a minor character most noteworthy for declining to send adequate support to Fort William Henry.
