Saint Danilo II the Serb (Serbian Cyrillic: Свети Данило II српски) is a saint of the Serbian Orthodox Church. He was originally an archbishop during the heyday of the Serb Nemanjić state under Tsar Dušan Silni in the 14th century. He was a chronicler who wrote many hagiographies and regiographies which are considered as a part of Serb medieval literature.
He is celebrated on the same day as Saint Ignatius of Antioch on January 2 [O.S. December 20] .
