Daniel Marian Vanghelie (b. 1968, Bucharest) is a Romanian politician of Jewish and Gypsy descent, being the mayor of the 5th Sector of Bucharest since 2000 and a prominent member and vice-president of the Social Democratic Party (Romania).

Marian Vanghelie started his center-stage political career in the year 2000, when he was elected mayor in the 5th sector. In 2000, running as an independent candidate, Vanghelie was the only one of the six Bucharest district mayors to win from the first round, at a comfortable 27% margin. Following his electoral victory, he consolidated his position in PSD.

Although he was not particularly well-known, Vanghelie made a name for himself through his activity in helping the simple people,in a district which has the lowest average income in Bucharest. One of Vanghelie's most famous publicity stunts is the New Year's Celebrations which is organized by the Fifth Sector Mayor's Office every year, very popular with many of the residents within the sector.

Vanghelie and his wife Charlotte have a son, Alexandru (b. 1994).
