Daniel Leo Ceisler (born 1991 or 1992) is an American attorney who is the sheriff-elect of Bucks County,Pennsylvania. He is a member of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party.

Ceisler announced his bid for sheriff of Bucks County in March 2025. [1] He won the endorsement of the Bucks County Democratic Committee that same month. [3] After incumbent Republican sheriff Fred Harran worked to partner with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Ceisler attacked Harran for those connections. [4] Harran had signed his deputies up to help ICE with federal immigration laws. His proposal was initially overturned by Bucks County commissioners, but a judge ruled that the commission did not have the authority to do so. [5] His goal with the campaign was to take politics out of public safety. [6]
Ceisler defeated Harran on November 4, 2025, with over 55% of the vote. [7] With his victory, he became the second youngest sheriff in the state, at 33 years old. [8]
