Daniel K. Sokol (born 1978) is a barrister and medical ethicist known for his academic and journalistic writings on the ethics of medicine.

He lectures nationally and internationally, and writes a regular column in the British Medical Journal under the sobriquet Ethics Man.[1][2] Up until January 2014 Sokol was an honorary Senior Lecturer in Medical Ethics and Law at King's College London. His contract was terminated due to Sokol setting up a for-profit legal enterprise that represented students in exam appeals.[3] He is a member of 12 King's Bench Walk, a leading barristers' chambers in London, England.[citation needed] In late 2019 Sokol founded the Centre for Remedial Ethics.[4]
