Daniel ben Moses David Terni (Hebrew: דניאל בן משה דוד טירני; 1760s–1814) was an Italian rabbi, poet, and Biblical commentator.
He was a native of Ancona,1 one of the three cities in the Papal States in which Jews were permitted to live.2 He was orphaned at a young age, and raised by his maternal grandfather Daniel Naḥamo, a student of Samson Morpurgo.3
After teaching for some time in Lugo, he was called to the rabbinate of Florence.
