Daniel Whitehead (born 23 October 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Macclesfield.
He began his career at Stockport County, making his first-team debut during the 2011–12 season. He was sold to West Ham United in June 2013 and featured in one FA Cup game before his contract was terminated in January 2015. He had a brief spell at Accrington Stanley two months later before joining Macclesfield Town in July 2015. He was sold on to Wigan Athletic in January 2016, though he returned to Macclesfield on loan for the rest of the 2015–16 season. He spent the first half of the 2016–17 season on loan at Cheltenham Town. He ended the season back on loan at Macclesfield Town, for whom he was an unused substitute in the 2017 FA Trophy final.
His contract at Wigan was terminated in September 2017, and he rejoined Macclesfield Town permanently. He was a key player as the club won promotion back to the English Football League after finishing top of the National League table in the 2017–18 season. He signed with Salford City in May 2018 and helped the club to win promotion out of the National League via the play-offs in 2019. He returned to Macclesfield Town for a third loan spell at the club in January 2020 and joined Port Vale on a free transfer in August 2020. Transfer-listed at Port Vale at the end of the 2020–21 season, he was loaned out to Altrincham in October 2021. He joined AFC Fylde in January 2022 and helped the club to the National League North title at the end of the 2022–23 season. He signed with Macclesfield in May 2024.
