Daniel Rogers (1573–1652) was an influential English Puritan minister and theologian, known for his passionate preaching and strict moral rigour.
Educated at Cambridge, he was a student of William Perkins, a key figure in Puritan theology. Rogers served as a minister in Essex, where he became renowned for his deep piety and sombre spiritual tone. He authored several devotional works, including A Treatise of the Two Sacraments and Matrimonial Honour. Though respected for his scholarship, Rogers was also criticised for his severity and introspective melancholy. His life reflected the intense religious fervour and ethical seriousness of early 17th-century Puritanism.
