R. P. Daggett & Company was an American architectural firm based in Indianapolis, owned by three successive generations of one family. It was established in 1868 as a sole proprietorship by architect Robert Platt Daggett FAIA (January 13, 1837 – November 5, 1915) and expanded to a partnership in 1880 to include James B. Lizius FAIA (May 30, 1851 – July 23, 1911). Daggett's son, Robert Frost Daggett FAIA (March 13, 1875 – September 6, 1955), became a partner in 1901. After the elder Daggett's death the younger continued the firm under his own name. He formed a new partnership with his son and a third associate in 1948, who took over the firm

The partnership was incorporated as Daggett, Naegele & Daggett Inc. in 1951.[4][5] Robert Frost Daggett died in 1955, and in 1961 the firm was renamed Daggett, Naegele & Associates Inc.[6] By 1970, the principals of the firm also included Kenneth H. Mendenhall Jr. and Robert A. Blakeslee.[7] Daggett retired in 1977 and the firm was dissolved.
The firm's last major project prior to its dissolution was the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, completed in 1976.[8]
