Daniel McNaughton (October 11, 1851 – July 12, 1925) was an Ontario farmer and political figure. He represented Bruce North in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1893 to 1898. He was elected in a 1893 by-election when he ran as a Patrons of Industry candidate.[1] In 1894 he was elected as a Liberal and then as a Liberal-Protestant Protective Association member.
He was born in Puslinch Township, Wellington County, Canada West and moved to Bruce Township in 1881. He served on the township council and was reeve from 1891 to 1893.
