Daniel Pierce Thompson (1795–1868) was an American novelist and lawyer best known for his historical fiction set in New England. His most notable works include "The Green Mountain Boys" (1839), which dramatizes the role of Vermont's militia during the American Revolution, and "Locke Amsden" (1847), which explores the challenges of rural education.

In addition to his literary career, Thompson also held public office, including roles as a legislator and probate judge in Vermont.
