The Danya of the Pepper Coast (Oharic: Yepēperi Kositi Danya) was the administrative viceroy for the Orinese colony of the Pepper Coast from 1811 to 1960, when the colony declared independence as the People's Republic of Batsweda.

Unlike other danyas in Orinese colonies, the Danya of the Pepper Coast was granted extensive autonomy since its founding, including levying taxes and enacting their own economic policies. The first danya, the Gallambrian-born Marcellus Holland, used his position to entice various private Gallambrian, Anglian, and oither Anglish-speaking companies and administrators to the Pepper Coast, alongside Orinese military forces. Holland was able to amass a wealth of over Φ5 million during his tenure as danya, and the Holland family dominated colonial politics until independence, with five serving as danya, out of fifteen total.
