Daniel Patrick Reilly (born May 12, 1928) is retired American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as the Bishop of the Diocese of Norwich (1975–1994) and the Diocese of Worcester (1994–2004).
Daniel Reilly was born in Providence, Rhode Island, to Francis and Mary Ann (née Bums) Reilly. He studied at Our Lady of Providence Seminary in Warwick (1943–1948) before studying at the Grand Seminary in Saint-Brieuc, France.
Reilly was ordained to the priesthood on May 30, 1953. He briefly served in a parish before completing his graduate studies at Boston College.
Serving the Diocese of Providence, he was successively named assistant chancellor (1954), secretary to Bishop Russell McVinney (1956), chancellor (1964), and vicar general (1972). He attended two sessions of the Second Vatican Council, and was raised to the rank of Monsignor in 1965.
On June 5, 1975, Reilly was appointed the third Bishop of Norwich, Connecticut, by Pope Paul VI. He received his episcopal consecration on August 6, 1975, from Archbishop John Francis Whealon, with Bishops Vincent Joseph Hines and Louis Edward Gelineau serving as co-consecrators.
