Daniel 'Dan' Orsi from Dumfries is a Scottish international youth association footballer. He is currently a free agent.

Orsi is from Dumfries and a former pupil at Dumfries Academy. As well as playing in the youth set up for Queen of the South, he made his début for the first team coming on as a sub in a friendly in season 2009-10 against Celtic. Orsi has been selected to date in six squads for the Scotland under-18 international team, namely for the games against Australia, New Zealand and then the Centenary Shield games against Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and England.[1] Queen of the South team mate Dean Thomson was also selected initially selected but withdrew due to tonsillitis.

Orsi has also competed in the Scottish schools cross country running championship.[2]

On 25 July 2010 Orsi was announced on the Queens website as having officially signed as opposed to having previously been on a youth contract. The bulletin announced the similar signings of Steven Degnan, Ian McShane and Gavin Reilly.[3]

In Orsi's sixth game for Queens he picked up the man of the match award.[4] This was on 26 March 2011 in the 4-1 league win at Palmerston Park against Stirling Albion.[5] In his next game, three days later, this time away at Stirling Albion, he scored his first senior goal. In the fourth minute he was first to a pass from Colin McMenamin and put the ball through the keeper's legs and into the net. However in the sixteenth minute he was stretchered off with a knee injury after making an awkward challenge. Queens won the game 2-0.[6]

On 28 December 2013, Orsi was released by Queen of the South. [7]
