Daniel Field Lindley (born 4 October 1950) is a banking executive and London-based Managing Director, Global Family & Private Investments Offices Group of the Northern Trust Company (Nasdaq: NTRS).

Lindley was born in Summit, NJ and grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, and received a bachelor's degree, magna cum laude, from Williams College, and a law degree from the University of Virginia Law School. Lindley spent 25 years in private law practice in Delaware prior to joining Northern Trust where he assisted institutional clients in fiduciary product development. In that role, Lindley was the principal author in 1997 of the Qualified Dispositions in Trust Act, Delaware's asset protection trust statute, and the 1995 legislation repealing Delaware's Rule Against Perpetuities.

Lindley is a direct descendant of Cyrus West Field, the American businessman and promoter who laid the first telegraph cable across the Atlantic Ocean in 1858.
