Daniel (Danny) Simpson (born January 4, 1987) is an English football player who plays right fullback. He was born in Salford, Greater Manchester.

As a youth he played for Parkwyddn A.F.C. in Eccles before being picked up by Manchester United. Simpson is a product of the Manchester United youth system, having come up through the ranks into the reserve squad in 2005. He has yet to make an appearance for the first team. In early January 2006 he was sent on loan, along with 3 other United youths, to the Belgian second division club Royal Antwerp for the remainder of the season, to gain match experience.

Simpson made his debut appearance against South African team Kaizer Chiefs on July 18, 2006, which the Reds won 1-0. Manager Alex Ferguson claimed that Simpson looked "anything but a player making his first start for Manchester United". Simpson spent the first half of the 2006-07 season back on loan at Royal Antwerp and returned to Manchester United in January 2007.

Soon afterwards he joined his team mate and friend, Jonny Evans, on loan at Sunderland.
