Daniel Svensson (born 20 November 1977) is a Swedish drummer. He is currently a member of the Swedish supergroup The Halo Effect (2021–) and formerly a drummer of the metal bands In Flames, Sacrilege GBG (also the vocalist) and Diabolique.

Svensson is a self taught drummer. He would adopt drum beats from songs after listening to a walkman and eventually start jamming on a drum set that was originally owned by his younger brother. His biggest drumming influence is Vinnie Paul of Pantera. In 1998, Svensson took Björn Gelotte's job occupation as drummer when Gelotte switched from drums to guitars. In Flames' first album with him as drummer along with Peter Iwers was Colony, and it was released the following year. He rejoined Sacrilege GBG in 2006. Svensson decided to leave In Flames after finishing up the Europe tour in November 2015. He is also running a beer brewing company together with former In Flames bandmate Peter Iwers. They have their own beer brewery outside Gothenburg called Odd Island Brewing.
