Daniel Prenn (7 September 1904 – 3 September 1991) was a German, Polish and British tennis player of Jewish origin. He was ranked the World No. 6 for 1932 by A. Wallis Myers and the European No. 1 by "American Lawn Tennis" magazine. He was a runner-up for the mixed doubles title of Wimbledon in 1930. He later became a successful businessman.
Daniel Prenn was born on 7 September 1904 in Vilna to a railway building contractor. The family moved to Berlin after World War I.
Daniel Prenn represented Germany in the World table tennis Championship of 1926 in London reaching the fourth round in singles and the quarterfinals in doubles.
In 1928 he won the German tennis championships.
In 1930 he was a German Club team champion representing the Rotweiss Club of Berlin beating fellow hometown club Blau-Weiss eight to one. Prenn won both of his doubles matches. He failed to win the Berlin international Championships and subsequently lost to Bill Tilden in the final. He also lost the doubles with his Davis Cup teammate Heinrich Kleinschroth to the duo of Tilden and Erik Worm. A month later they met again in a match for the Dutch Championships doubles title, although this time they formed a team and won against the Dutch champions Henrik Timmer and Arthur Diemer-Kool.
In 1931 he won the singles, doubles and mixed doubles championships of the City of Dresden tournament. The same year he lost the Berlin international Championships the second time to Roderich Menzel in straight sets but won the doubles partnering with him.
