Dan Werner (born October 9, 1987) is an American professional basketball player. He played collegiately at the University of Florida and was a freshman member of Florida's 2007 national champion team. Werner regularly started at forward for the Gators from the 2007-08 season until graduating in the spring of 2010.
After college, Werner signed with Bologna of the Italian Basketball League and was loaned to Kaposvári KK of the Hungarian Basketball League for the 2010-11 season.
Werner was born in Middletown Township, New Jersey and attended Christian Brothers Academy in New Jersey. He led his high school team to a 27-2 record during his senior year and was honored as New Jersey's "Mr. Basketball" for 2006. Werner originally committed to attend North Carolina State, but reopened the recruiting process after NC State coach Herb Sendek left the school and ended up signing with coach Billy Donovan at Florida.
Werner was a reserve during his freshman season at Florida behind the "04's" – the Gators' starting five who won two consecutive national championships. Werner played sparingly in the Gators' run through the 2007 NCAA basketball tournament and did not play at all in the team's victory in the championship game against Ohio State.
