Daniel Ellison (February 14, 1886 – August 20, 1960) was a U.S. Representative from Maryland.
Born in Russia, Ellison was brought to the United States by his parents as an infant. He attended the public schools of Baltimore, Maryland, and graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 1907 and from the University of Maryland School of Law of Baltimore in 1909. He was admitted to the bar the same year and commenced practice in Baltimore. He was also a long time member of the Baltimore city council, serving from 1923 to 1942.
Ellison was elected as a Republican to the Seventy-eighth Congress (January 3, 1943-January 3, 1945), but was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1944 to the Seventy-ninth Congress. He resumed the practice of law in Baltimore, and also served as member of the Maryland Senate from 1946 to 1950. He died in Baltimore, and is interred in Hebrew Friendship Cemetery.
