Yapon Danzan (1895 - 1932), Mongolian revolutionary and political leader.
In 1932 Danzan was caught up in a widescale purge of suspected rightwingers (mostly politicians who voiced concerns with growing Soviet influence in Mongolia) that included Tseveen Jamsrano, Tseren-Ochiryn Dambadorj, and N. Jadamba.

Born to peasant parents in Tüsheet Khan Province (present day east central Mongolia) in 1895, Danzan traveled to Japan in 1916, thus earning the moniker he carried later in life to distinguish him from his contemporary namesake, party leader Soliin Danzan.
•
Danzan was party chairman during the Third Party Congress in 1924 that saw the purge and execution of former party chairman Soliin Danzan.
