Ruby "Rivka" Daniel (Hebrew: רובי "רבקה" דניאל; December 1912 – 23 September 2002) was a Malayali of Cochin Jewish heritage, the first Malayali woman in the Indian Navy, and the first Cochin Jewish woman to publish a book. Between the years of 1982–1999 Daniel translated into English over 120 Judeo-Malayalam women's songs. Her translation efforts led the way for an ongoing international project to translate and analyze the songs within the Cochin Jewish community.
