Daniel Rapin (1799 in Payerne – 1882) was a Swiss pharmacist and botanist.

He worked as a pharmacist in Fribourg, Strasbourg, Paris, Geneva, Payerne (1832-1838) and Rolle (1838–1853). In 1853 he retired to Yverdon, later relocating to Plainpalais (Geneva) (1857).[1] Taxa with the specific epithet of rapini are named after him, an example being Salix rapini.[2]
