Danuta Perka (née Wołosz; born 22 June 1956) is a Polish female former track and field hurdler who specialised in the 100 metres hurdles.

She was a two-time national champion in the 60 metres hurdles, taking the Polish title in 1977 and 1983.

[1] From Korsze, she was a highly ranked athlete during her career, placing within the season's top ten hurdlers on time between 1977 and 1981.

Perka competed at a time when Polish athletes were prominent in hurdling; she took the 60 metres hurdles gold medal at the 1979 European Athletics Indoor Championships ahead of compatriot and former champion Grażyna Rabsztyn,[4] while at the 1979 Summer Universiade she was runner-up to fellow Pole Lucyna Langer in the 100 m hurdles.

As of 2017, her time of 12.66 remains the fastest ever non-winning time at the competition and the fourth fastest of any finalist, after Langer, Monique Éwanjé-Épée and Vashti Thomas.
