Daniel Haines (January 6, 1801 – January 26, 1877) was an American attorney, jurist, and politician who served as the 14th Governor of New Jersey in nonconsecutive terms in office from 1843 to 1845 and 1848 to 1851. During his first term, Haines was instrumental in calls for constitutional reform which led to the New Jersey Constitution of 1844. In both terms, he promoted educational reform and prison reform, a cause he continued to champion in retirement.
