Daniel McKay (born 5 September 1988) is an English amateur rugby union player currently playing as a lock forward for South Tyneside College RUFC.

McKay started his career at Harton School before spending 3 seasons in the youth section at Westoe RFC and was awarded the Players Player of the Season award in 2005.

In May 2008, McKay had a trial with Sunderland RFC before joining Gateshead RFC in July of the same year. He spent two seasons with the North East club before signing semi professional terms with Dutch Ereklasse (premiership) side RC Eemland Amersfoort in July 2010.

Injury prevented McKay from impressing at RC Eemland after being carried off in his debut against Antwerp RC of Belgium with an anterior cruciate ligament injury which proved to be his final piece of action that season.
