Daniel E. Freeman is an American musicologist, pianist, and music editor who lives in Minneapolis. Born in Everett, Washington, he was raised in northern Wisconsin. He has taught music history at the University of Illinois, the University of Southern California, and the University of Minnesota. Since 2002, he has appeared regularly as a speaker at the Smithsonian Institution.

He specializes mainly in 18th-century European music, both of the baroque and classic periods, and has produced works that deal with Italian opera, Italian keyboard music, the musical culture of Prague and the Bohemian lands, and the music of W. A. Mozart, J. S. Bach, the Bach sons, Antonio Vivaldi, and Josquin des Prez. His three books based on topics related to the musical culture of Prague are a unique contribution to the musicological literature unmatched by any other scholar.
