Daniel Pieter Antonie "Danie" Schutte (born 13 June 1947) is a South African politician and lawyer who was the last Minister of Home Affairs of the apartheid era from 1993 to 1994. He represented the National Party (NP) both in the apartheid-era House of Assembly and in the post-apartheid National Assembly.
Schutte was the provincial leader of the NP in Natal province from 1993 to 1999. He also played a significant role in the negotiations to end apartheid. Although he retired from Parliament in 1999, he co-founded Nasionale Aksie with Cassie Aucamp in 2002.
