Daniel Milton Neumark (born 27 March 1955) is an American chemist and professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley.

Education Neumark obtained his B.A. and M.A. from Harvard University, working as an undergraduate in the lab of Dudley Herschbach. He went on to earn his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from University of California, Berkeley His research has involved the probing transition states using negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy, investigation of the properties and dynamics of hydrated electrons using time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy on water clusters. Neumark and fellow Berkeley professor Stephen Leone have collaborated on research probing quantum dynamics using attosecond spectroscopy.

Awards and honours Neumark won the William F. Meggers Award in 2005, the Irving Langmuir Award in 2008, the Herbert P. Broida Prize in 2013, the Bourke Award in 2018 and the Peter Debye Award in 2019.
