Daniel Leopold Lipson (26 March 1886 – 14 April 1963) was a politician in the United Kingdom. Originally a teacher at Cheltenham College and later a headmaster, he became a member of Cheltenham Borough council, serving as mayor during the 1930s, before he was elected as an Independent Conservative Member of Parliament for the Cheltenham constituency at a by-election in 1937, the local Conservative party having refused to endorse him as its candidate following an anti-semitic whispering campaign. He was re-elected at the general election of 1945 as a National Independent, but at the 1950 election his vote fell and he lost the seat to the Conservative candidate William Hicks Beach, coming third behind the Labour candidate.
