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 Barcelona, which Milan went on to win 4-0. He was also Milan's top scorer in Serie A in 1993/1994, 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. He also played in the J-League 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 which cost Italy the championship. Massaro also missed a one-on-one opportunity in the same match. Had he scored that goal, Italy may not have had to go to the penalty shootout.

At this time he works at AC Milan, in the public relations department.
