Daniel Ryan (born c. 1930 - died February 15, 1961) was an American ice dancer who competed with partner Carol Ann Peters.

After his competitive career ended, Ryan became a skating coach.

He was en route to the World Figure Skating Championships in 1961 with his pupils, Larry Pierce and Diane Sherbloom, when their plane (Sabena Flight 548) crashed near Brussels, Belgium, killing all on board.
