Daniel M. "Dan" Knapik (born September 1, 1967) is an American politician who served as mayor of Westfield, Massachusetts from 2010 until his resignation in 2015. He is a member of the Republican Party.

In 2002, Knapik was elected to the city council from Ward 2 and ran for Mayor of Westfield in the city's 2009 municipal election after defeating incumbent Michael Boulanger[1] and was sworn-in on January 4, 2010. Since then, Knapik was re-elected unopposed in 2011 and narrowly defeated challenger Michael Roeder in 2013. On January 1, 2015 he announced that he would not seek re-election to a fourth term and will instead seek one of the seven City Council at-large seats.[2][3]

On November 9, 2015, Knapik resigned as mayor when Governor Charlie Baker appointed him as Director of Green Communities within the state Department of Energy Resources.[4]
