Nándor János Dáni (born 2 July 1871 in Budapest, Austria-Hungary; died 31 December 1949 in Budapest, Hungary) was a Hungarian athlete. He competed at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens.[1]
Dáni competed in the 800 metres, taking second place in his preliminary heat to advance to the final. There, he again finished behind Edwin Flack of Australia, the same runner who had beaten him in the first round. Dáni's time in the final was 2:11.8, less than a second behind Flack's 2:11.0 time.
