Daniel Leonard Ozark (born Orzechowski; November 26, 1923 – May 7, 2009) was an American coach and manager in Major League Baseball.
As manager of the Philadelphia Phillies (1973 to 1979), Ozark led the team to three consecutive National League East Division championships (1976–1978), but each year his team fell in the National League Championship Series. He was the fourth manager to reach the Championship Series (National or American) in three straight seasons and the first to lose all of them (Whitey Herzog would join him on the same day as Ozark).
As a coach, Ozark was a member of the Championship teams of the 1965 and 1981 Los Angeles Dodgers, under Hall of Fame managers Walter Alston and Tommy Lasorda.
