Daniel Filipacchi (born 1928, Paris, France) is the Chairman Emeritus of Hachette Filipacchi Médias.

In the 1960s, he created and hosted a rock and roll radio show modeled after Dick Clark's American Bandstand called Salut Les Copains. The show was such a huge success that he decided to launch a magazine of the same name, which quickly built a circulation of one million copies. He then launched many other magazines (and acquired several others). Some were for teenage girls (such as Mademoiselle Age Tendre); some for men (such as Lui,[1] Newlook, and French editions of Playboy and Penthouse[2][3]).

For many years ARTnews has been listing Filipacchi among the world's top art collectors. His collection (along with that of his best friend, the record producer Nesuhi Ertegün) was exhibited at the Guggenheim in New York in 1999 in Surrealism: Two Private Eyes, the Nesuhi Ertegun and Daniel Filipacchi Collections - an event described by The New York Times as: “a gourmet banquet”, large enough to “pack the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum from ceiling to lobby with a powerful exhibition.”[1]
