Kfar Daniel (Hebrew: כְּפַר דָּנִיֵּאל, lit. Daniel Village) is a moshav shitufi in central Israel. Located around four kilometres south-east of Lod and covering 2,900 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Modi'in Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 726.
Kfar Daniel was established on 9 October 1949 by Mahalniks (Jewish World War II veterans) from English-speaking countries on the lands of the depopulated Arab village of Daniyal. The moshav was initially called Irgun Beit Hever after the organisation which the founders were members of, but was later renamed in honour of Daniel Frish, a president of the Zionist Organization of America who died in the year the village was established.
The nearby Daniel Interchange connecting Highway 1 and Highway 6 is named after the village.
