Daniel Irvin Rather Jr. (Wharton, Texas; 31 de octubre de 1931) es un periodista estadounidense, más conocido por ser el presentador de noticias de CBS Evening News. Ahora es el editor y presentador de la revista en el canal AXS TV. Rather fue presentador de CBS Evening News durante veinticuatro años, desde el 9 de marzo de 1981 hasta el 9 de marzo de 2005. También contribuyó a 60 Minutes, de CBS. Se vio envuelto en controversias sobre un reportaje de noticias en disputa sobre el servicio del presidente George W. Bush durante la Guerra de Vietnam en la Guardia Nacional y posteriormente abandonó CBS Evening News en 2005. Luego abandonó la red por completo, en el año 2006, después de cuarenta y tres años de carrera.​ Junto con Peter Jennings en ABC News y Tom Brokaw en NBC News, Rather fue uno de los «tres grandes» presentadores de noticias de los años 1980, 1990 y principios de 2000. Los tres fueron anfitriones de los programas de noticias nocturnos más importantes de su red durante más de 20 años, y los tres comenzaron y se retiraron en menos de un año.
