Daniel Duncan McKenzie, PC (January 8, 1859-June 8, 1927) was interim leader of the Liberal Party of Canada in 1919, following the death of former Canadian Prime minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier on February 17, 1919.
He held that position, and consequently the position of Leader of the Opposition, until August 7 of the same year, when the leadership of the party was won by William Lyon Mackenzie King at the first Liberal leadership convention. McKenzie was also a candidate at that convention, although more recent Canadian tradition has held that an interim leader cannot also stand as a leadership candidate in the official leadership race.
He later served as Solicitor General during King's second term in office.
