Gordon Charles Danielson (October 28, 1912 - September 30, 1983)[1][2] was a Distinguished Professor in in 1964 at Iowa State University at Ames, Iowa.

His name was added to the Distinguished Professor Award Wall in .

A scholarship fund, the was established in his name.

Danielson collaborated with Cornelius Lanczos to write the paper, Some Improvements in Practical Fourier Analysis and their Application to X-ray Scattering from Liquids (1942). The Danielson-Lanczos lemma, which appears in this paper, is the basis of the Cooley–Tukey FFT algorithm, an efficient algorithm for computing the discrete Fourier transform.[3]

With L. D. Muhlstein he wrote Effects of Ordering on the Transport Properties of Sodium Tungsten Bronze (1967).
