Daniel Finch, 8th Earl of Winchilsea, 3rd Earl of Nottingham (24 May 1689 - 2 August 1769) was a British politician. He was the eldest son of Daniel Finch, 2nd Earl of Nottingham and his second wife Anne Hatton, daughter of Christopher Hatton, Viscount Hatton . His father was a prominent Tory politician who had been one of the few leading Tories to actively support the Hanoverian succession.

Although his father had been a supporter of Walpole, Winchilsea became instead a supporter of Lord Carteret in the so-called "Patriot Opposition". When Carteret became leading minister in 1742, Winchilsea joined as well, becoming First Lord of the Admiralty (1742-1744). Later on, he allied himself with Newcastle and the Old Whigs, and served as Lord President in the Rockingham administration (1765-1766). He was made a Knight of the Garter in 1752.
