Dana Gould (born August 24, 1966) is an American comedian and comedy writer born and raised in Hopedale, Massachusetts. His upbringing in the "weird little" factory town and the backward eccentricities of his extended family lent themselves to his stand-up routine, which has been seen on HBO, Showtime, and Comedy Central, among other places. After high school, he studied communications and theatre at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He eventually moved to San Francisco to pursue a career in comedy. It was there he, along with fellow comedian Alex Reid, founded the San Francisco Comedy Condo in 1986. He now lives in Los Angeles, California.

Quotes
- "When you become president, do you think they tell you all the secrets right away, or do you have to slowly earn them with good behavior? I would think it would have to be that [the latter]. They can't splooge them on ya all at once. It'll blow your mind. The minute you're sworn in, some CIA grunt pulls you into a dark alley: 'Alright, c'mere. You never heard this. We have two UFO's in a warehouse and we put JFK's brain in a monkey." - from the CD Funhouse
- "I love Los Angeles because it's a very liberal town, [but] it is extremely hypocritical in what it chooses to be liberal about. Like, you can be driving through West Hollywood, seeing a guy in lipstick wearing a fur coat and high heels, jacking off into a mailbox. People yelling at him: 'Hey! Is that real fur?!' '`Course not!'" - also from Funhouse
