Daniel Cunliffe (11 June 1875 – 28 December 1937) was an English footballer who had a rather nomadic career in which he played as an inside forward for several clubs, including Liverpool as well as making one appearance for England in 1900.

Cunliffe was born in Bolton and played for several Lancashire clubs, including Little Lever, Middleton Borough and Oldham County[1] before joining First Division Liverpool in 1897.

Cunliffe made his Fratton Park debut on 6 September 1899 in a friendly match against local rivals Southampton, when he scored the opening goal in a 2–0 victory.

[3] Cunliffe scored again in the first Southern League derby match against Southampton at The Dell on 14 April 1900[4] as Pompey ended their inaugural professional season as runners-up.

In the event, the game was far more difficult than expected, with England only managing a 2–0 victory,[6] with goals from Charlie Sagar and Harry Johnson, who were also both making their international debut.
