Daniel Clement Dennett (Boston, 28 de março de 1942) é um filósofo estadunidense. As pesquisas de Dennett se prendem principalmente à filosofia da mente (relacionada à ciência cognitiva) e da biologia. Dennett é referido como um dos "Quatro Cavaleiros do Novo Ateísmo", junto com Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris e o já falecido Christopher Hitchens. Para Dennett, os estados interiores de consciência não existem. Em outras palavras, aquilo que ele chama de "teatro cartesiano", isto é, um local no cérebro onde se processaria a consciência, não existe, pois admitir isto seria concordar com uma noção de intencionalidade intrínseca. Para ele a consciência não se dá em uma área especifica do cérebro, como já dito, mas em uma sequência de inputs e outputs que formam uma cadeia por onde a informação se move. Um dos livros de Dennett é A Ideia Perigosa de Darwin.
