Cristian Dănălache (born 15 July 1982 in Bucharest) is a Romanian football forward. He plays for Daejeon Citizen in the South Korea.
Dănălache began his career with Third Division side CS Otopeni in 2003–04. He helped the club win promotion to the Second Division in 2004. In 2006, he transferred to UTA Arad, where he got his first taste of Top Division football, before signing Unirea Urziceni. After two-and-a-half seasons, the club won the championship. In 2010, he agreed to short-term deals in Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Before the 2011 season, the scouters of Jiangsu Sainty observed Dănălache a couple of times at the Turkish training camp. On 21 March 2011 Jiangsu Sainty formally announced the signing of the Romanian striker.
During his first months at Jiangsu Sainty, he didn't adapt well. His game form finally began to rise under manager Dragan Okuka who signed in May. Dănălache got his first goal for the club on 29 May 2011, against Guizhou Renhe when he scored the winning goal to take a 1–0 victory.
On 28 February 2014, Dănălache transferred to China League One side Qingdao Jonoon .
In February 2015, Dănălache transferred to fellow China League One side Xinjiang Tianshan Leopard.
