Daniel "Danny" McCormack (1876-1938) was an Irish hurler who played for the Dublin senior team.[1]

Born in Borrisoleigh, County Tipperary, McCormack first excelled at hurling in his youth. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-four when he first linked up with the Dublin senior. He made his debut during the 1899 championship. McCormack immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen and won three Leinster medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.

At club level McCormack was a seven-time championship medallist with Faughs.

McCormack retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1912 championship.
