Daniel "Danny" Hay (born 15 May 1975) is a New Zealand football (soccer) player, who plays as a central defender and captains Waitakere United in the New Zealand Football Championship.

He started the 2006-2007 season as inaugural captain for the Auckland based New Zealand Knights, but left the club in December following a falling out with management, before playing out the season with Perth Glory.[1]

He appeared in the English Premier League and in the UEFA Champions League, playing for Leeds United.[1] However, he failed to reach his full potential in England due to constant injuries. In England he is probably most remembered for playing in Barcelona's 4–0 thrashing of Leeds despite them going on to reach the semi final.

In New Zealand he played for Green Bay/Titirangi, Waitakere United and Central United. He also played for Perth Glory in Australia and Walsall in England.[1]

He also appeared for the New Zealand national soccer team, the All Whites.[2] His first goal for his country came against Fiji in the 1998 Oceania Nations Cup in a 1-0 win.[3] In 2006, Hay was awarded the captaincy of the All Whites.

In 2007, he retired from international football in order to pursue a teaching career at Sacred Heart College in Auckland which also involves him training the First 11 and youth development teams.
