Daniel Larsen Schevig (1786 – 6 October 1833) was a Norwegian military officer and constitutional founding father.
He was born at the farm Gladsjø in Beitstad, and spent his career as a farmer on Skjevik farm. He was a sergeant in the Norwegian Army, and received the Dannebrogordenens Hæderstegn in 1808 for his war efforts at Duved skanse.
