Daniel Houser (born November 1973) is an English video game writer and producer. He is one of the co-founders of Rockstar Games alongside his brother Sam Houser. He served as the head writer and vice president of creativity until his resignation in 2020. He founded Absurd Ventures in 2021, creating new intellectual properties across several mediums.
Prior to his departure from the company, Houser was regarded as the primary creative driving force behind much of Rockstar's output. First serving as the sole writer for Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 (1997), he went on to become the lead writer for most titles in the Grand Theft Auto series, Red Dead Redemption (2010) and its 2018 prequel, Bully (2006), Midnight Club: Los Angeles (2008), and Max Payne 3 (2012).
