Daniel "Dani" Fernández Melián (born 28 January 2008) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a midfielder for CD Tenerife.

Club career
Born in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, Fernández was a CD Tenerife youth graduate. In April 2024, he agreed to a professional contract with the club, after spending a period separated from the Cadete squad prior to the renewal.

Before even having appeared with the reserves, Fernández began training with the main squad in May 2024. After being an unused substitute in a 1–1 away draw against Burgos CF, he made his senior – and professional – debut on 2 June, replacing Enric Gallego in a 2–1 Segunda División home win over Real Valladolid; aged 16 years and 128 days, he became the second-youngest to debut with the club, only behind Víctor Correa in 1984.

International career
On 18 October 2023, Fernández was called up to the Spain national under-16 team for two friendlies against Romania.
