Jeffrey W. “Jeff” Danna (born in Burlington, Ontario in 1964) is a composer and musician noted for his work in film scores.

A reluctant piano student at age eight, he found solace in the guitar at age eleven. Danna began playing professionally at fifteen until a hand injury in 1987 curtailed his performance career. He subsequently began composing for films and in 1991 moved to Los Angeles  to continue working. Jeff has created scores for a long and varied list of films, both animated and live-action. His credits include such divergent projects as All Saints Day, Fracture, Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Kid Stays in the Picture, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Miss Spider, Silent Hill, O, Richard Attenborough’s Closing the Ring, and Neil Labute’s Lakeview Terrace. Additionally, his collaborative Orchestral Celtic albums with brother Mychael Danna, have enjoyed worldwide success and have placed in the Top Ten on the Billboard chart in the United States.
