Daniel B. Smith (July 14, 1792 – March, 1883) was an educator, pharmacist, and taxidermist in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Smith was educated at Burlington Friends School under John Griscom, where he acquired an interest in scientific studies. In January 1811, he dissected and mounted a Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) that was collected by Alexander Wilson (1766–1813) near Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, which became the model for Wilson's drawing, which was engraved by Alexander Lawson (1773–1846) for Pl. 36 of American Ornithology, vol. 4 (1811). Wilson also quoted at length from Smith's dissection notes, and his original sketch of Smith's taxidermy is preserved in the archives of the Ernst Mayr Library, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University.
