John Danby (born 20 September 1983 in Stoke) is a professional footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Chester City.

He spent five seasons with Kidderminster Harriers before signing for Chester City in 2006. Danby's time with Kidderminster unfortunately saw them relegated out of the Football League in 2004-05 but he established himself as a promising young goalkeeper.

After a shaky start with Chester, John went on to enjoy a successful 2006/07 season and was named the club's player of the season. Despite the signing of the experienced Gavin Ward, Danby was selected in goal for Chester's opening game of the 2007-08 season against Chesterfield. In two full seasons at Chester he has not missed any of their 104 competitive first-team matches, although he went off injured in a Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie against Crewe Alexandra in September 2007 and in a league match against Darlington in March 2008.
