Daniel Graisberry (c. 1740 – 1785) was an Irish printer.
Life Daniel Graisberry was born in Drumcondra, Dublin around 1740. He was the son of William Graisberry, a printer, and Elizabeth Graisberry. He was admitted to the Guild of St Luke on 24 August 1775 having completed his apprenticeship under Hugh Grierson, the king's printer. He entered into a loose partnership with James Williams, a bookseller, from early 1778 to March 1781. Graisberry focused on printing while Williams was in charge of the retail business at 10 Back Lane, where Graisberry rented the premises for £45 a year.
He married Mary Kennedy in July 1765, and the couple had at least 12 children. His death was announced mistakenly in the Dublin press in November 1772. On 6 February 1782, Graisberry was injured when the floor of the Music Hall in Fishamble Street collapsed during a guild meeting. He died on 26 December 1785, hours after the death of his mother. There was a monument erected to him in Drumcondra churchyard. His wife, Mary, took over the business after his death in partnership with her son-in-law Richard Campbell, the husband of Elizabeth Graisberry. Mary retired in 1797, and died at Back Lane in February 1822.
