Daniel Millaud (26 August 1928 — 21 June 2016) was a French Polynesian politician who represented French Polynesia in the French Senate from 1977 to 1998. He was a member of E'a Api. He was the nephew of politician Jean Millaud and the brother of politician Sylvain Millaud.[2]

Millaud was born in Papeete.[2] He was educated at Saint-Elme school in Arcachon, Gironde, then trained as a dentist.[3]

He entered politics at the urging of his uncle and became a municipal councillor.[2] He was elected to the Assembly of French Polynesia as an E'a Api candidate in the 1967 French Polynesian legislative election.[4] He was re-elected at the 1972 election. At the 1977 election he was co-leader with Francis Sanford of the United Front, and was re-elected.[5]

At the 1971 senatorial election he was deputy to Pouvanaa a Oopa,[6] and filled Oopa's seat following his death in 1977.[2] He was re-elected in the 1980 senatorial election.[7][8] As a senator he called for a South Pacific common market,[9] and for Clipperton Island to be annexed to French Polynesia.[10] He was re-elected in 1989.[11] In 1995 he condemned France's resumption of nuclear testing at Mururoa.[12]

He died in June 2016 after a long illness.[2]
