Lukas Daniel Barnard (14 June 1949 – 13 January 2025), known as Niël Barnard, was a South African academic and intelligence chief who was the head of South Africa's National Intelligence Service from 1979 until 1992 and was notable for his behind-the-scenes role in preparing former president Nelson Mandela and former South African presidents P. W. Botha and F. W. de Klerk for Mandela's eventual and, as he saw it, inevitable, release from prison and rise to political power.
