Daniel Champagne (born May 15, 1969) is a Canadian politician who was the acting Mayor of Gatineau from February to June 2024 and has served as the city councillor for Versant District since 2013. He was the Deputy Mayor of Gatineau until February 22, 2024,[1] when incumbent Mayor France Bélisle announced her sudden resignation from the mayoralty, thrusting Champagne into the acting position, becoming the first acting mayor in history of Gatineau.
