Daniel David Kriel (born 15 February 1994 in Cape Town, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the Stormers in Super Rugby and Western Province in Currie Cup rugby. His regular position is centre.
Kriel attended Maritzburg College in Pietermaritzburg and was selected to represent KwaZulu-Natal at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week competition in 2010. He missed out on selection for their Under-18 Craven Week two years later after suffering a dislocated shoulder prior to the competition.
After high school, Kriel moved to Pretoria to join the Blue Bulls Academy. He was the first-choice outside centre for the Blue Bulls U19 side in the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship, starting eleven of their fourteen matches in the competition. He scored six tries for the Blue Bulls during the competition, which included a brace in their 46–16 victory over Western Province U19. The Blue Bulls topped the log, winning all twelve of their matches during the competition. Kriel started both their 37–21 defeat of Leopards U19 in the semi-final and the final, where the Blue Bulls won 35–23 to win the title and go through the entire competition undefeated.
In 2014, Kriel was called up to the South African Under-20 team that participated at the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship in New Zealand. He didn't play in South Africa's first match, a 61–5 victory over Scotland, but he started their second match of the competition, helping South Africa to a 33–24 victory over hosts New Zealand, as well as their final pool match which saw them beat Samoa 21–8 to finish top of their pool. Kriel was named on the bench as South Africa once again met New Zealand in the semi-finals and helped his side to a 32–25 win to qualify for their second ever final. Kriel started the final on the right wing for South Africa as they the match 20–21 to England to finish the competition in second spot.
