Daniele Massaro (born May 23, 1961 in Monza) is a former Italian football (soccer) forward. He was a member of the Italian squad that won the FIFA World Cup held in Spain in 1982.

Massaro made a name for himself at A.C. Milan. He scored two goals in the Champions League Final of 1994 against FC Barcelona, which Milan won 4–0. He was also Milan’s top scorer in Serie A in 1993/1994 season, helping them to the title. Surprisingly capped only 15 times for Italy, his international career actually spanned more than a decade (1982–94); he played for Italy at the 1994 FIFA World Cup. The same year, he scored twice in the European Cup final as AC Milan defeated FC Barcelona 4–0.

On leaving AC Milan in 1995, he also played for a year in the J-League of Japan with the Shimizu S-Pulse.

He was also the captain of the Italian Beach Soccer National Team for a couple of years.

Along with Franco Baresi and Roberto Baggio, Massaro missed a penalty kick against Brazil in the 1994 World Cup in the shootout which cost Italy the title. Massaro also missed a one-on-one opportunity in the same match.

He currently works at AC Milan, in the public relations department, as a PR manager.
