- Daniel Cronström (29 September 1655 in Avesta Dalarna County – 30 August 1719 in Paris) was a Swedish architect working in the Late Baroque style influenced by the French style of Louis XIV.
- He entered the foreign service and served in France as a Commission Secretary in 1679.
- He was sent to Paris in the 1690s as a cultural ambassador whose duty it was to seek out, record in drawings and buy as much as he possibly could of first-rate material related to the decorative arts.
