Daniel Corrie (10 April 1777 – 5 February 1837) was an English Anglican priest and bishop, the inaugural Bishop of Madras.[2]

Corrie was born at Ardchattan, Argyll, Great Britain, the second son of John Corrie, a vicar in Lincolnshire.[3] He was educated at St Catharine's College, Cambridge, ordained a deacon of the Diocese of Lincoln on 13 June 1802 and ordained a priest on 10 June 1804.[4] He became Archdeacon of Calcutta in 1823. He was consecrated bishop in 1835 and died on 5 February 1837.[5] The Times later reported that he had been taken ill at an SPG meeting on 31 January 1837.[6]
