Daniel Bursk Strickler (May 17, 1897 – June 29, 1992) was the 19th lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania from 1947 to 1950, under Governor James Duff. He was also a career officer in the United States Army, with service on active duty, in the Army Reserve, and in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, and he served as commander of the 28th Infantry Division.

Bell was the last permanent holder of the lieutenant governorship; he succeeded to the governorship when Edward Martin resigned to take a seat in the U.S. Senate.
