John Giles Upton Daniels (born 25 January 1942) is a former English cricketer. Daniels was a right-handed batsman. He was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire and educated at Winchester College, where he represented the college cricket team.[1]

Daniels entered the Royal Armoured Corps with the rank of second lieutenant in 1961.[2] He later made his only first-class cricket appearance for Gloucestershire against Oxford University in 1964. In this match, he scored 15 runs in Gloucestershire's first-innings, before being dismissed by Ted Fillary, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 4 runs by Tim Razzall.[3] In 1964, he made a single first-class appearance for the Combined Services against Oxford University.[4] He scored 10 runs in the Combined Services first-innings, before being dismissed by John Martin, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 22 runs by Tim Razzall.[5] Daniels held the rank of lieutenant still within the Royal Armoured Corps by 1965,[6] however on 15 April 1967 he resigned his commission.[7]
