Daniell Revenaugh (born May 30, 1934) is an American classical pianist and conductor. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, he made his debut at the age of 14 playing Beethoven's First Piano Concerto with the Louisville Orchestra.

In 1959 he graduated from Florida State University, where he studied with Ernst von Dohnanyi and Lewis Pankaskie. He later founded the Busoni Society, and has amassed a large and important collection of Busoni and Petri materials. In 1973 Revenaugh became the first General Director of the Institute For Advanced Music Study in Crans-Montana, Switzerland; a full scholarship international programme with faculty that included Zino Francescatti, Gregor Piatigorsky, Ib Lanzky-Otto and Rudolf Kempe.
