Daniil Dmitrievich Kholmsky (Russian: Даниил Дмитриевич Холмский; c.15th century – 1493) was a Russian knyaz (prince), boyar, and voivode who served under Ivan the Great. One of the most prominent generals of his era, Kholmsky played key roles in Muscovy's military campaigns against Kazan, Novgorod, and Lithuania, and helped lay the foundations of a centralized Russian state. He belonged to the princely House of Kholmsky and was the father of fellow voivode and boyar Vasily Kholmsky, who married Ivan III’s daughter Feodosiya Ivanovna.:115
