Daniel T. Wise (born January 24, 1971) is an American mathematician who specializes in geometric group theory and 3-manifolds.

[3] Daniel Wise obtained his PhD from Princeton University in 1996 supervised by Martin Bridson[1] His thesis was titled non-positively curved squared complexes, aperiodic tilings, and non-residually finite groups.

[1] Wise's research has focused on the role of non-positively curved cube complexes within geometric group theory and their interplay with residual finiteness.

His early work was taken to higher dimensions when he introduced with Frédéric Haglund the theory of special cube complexes.

[10] For the theory of special cube complexes and his establishment of subgroup separability for a wide class of groups, Daniel Wise together with Ian Agol was awarded in 2013 the Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry.
