Daniel Broadbent (born March 2, 1990 in Leeds) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Coca-Cola League One side Huddersfield Town.

He received his only England U-16 cap against Northern Ireland U-16 in the Victory Shield in 2005.

He first appeared in the Huddersfield first team, when he was called up to the bench for Town's home game against Oldham Athletic on October 20, 2007, following Andy Booth's back injury.

He made his first team debut replacing Joe Skarz as a substitute in Town's 3-0 defeat against Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park on October 26, 2007.

On March 2, 2008, Broadbent emulated team-mate Joe Skarz's achievement of last season by winning the League One Apprentice Award at the Football League Awards in London. It was also his 18th birthday that day, giving him twice as much reasons to celebrate.

Two weeks later, he made his first home appearance for Town at the Galpharm Stadium in their 2-1 defeat by Southend United.
