Dan Khanna
| The name or term "Dan" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Dan (disambiguation). |

Dan Khanna is an American illustrator and colorist currently working freelance for Hasbro.
Dan started his Transformers career as a fan artist, creating drawings of Transformers characters and action scenes. As he gained notoriety in the community, he made prints of his artwork available at conventions and through his then-website "Dan's Robot Art". He later became an integral part of 3H Enterprises until the company was dissolved following the loss of both the convention and fan club licenses.
He then became part of the creative team for the new Fun Publications-run Fan Club and conventions, illustrating and plotting Club and BotCon comics as well as designing heads for exclusive toys. He's also worked on mass-market comics for both IDW and Titan.
