Dane Massey (born 17 April 1988) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Dundalk in the League of Ireland Premier Division. He has also played for Bray Wanderers and for the Republic of Ireland national futsal team. Massey has made all 14 of his appearances in European competition for Dundalk and was part of their team that became the first Irish side to reach the play-off round of the UEFA Champions League in August 2016.

Massey grew up in the Knocklyon suburb of Dublin and played youth football for Cherry Orchard in the same team as Simon Madden, Adam Rooney and Stephen Gleeson. His first visit to watch a League of Ireland side play was with his father in 2004 when Shelbourne drew 0−0 with Deportivo La Coruna in a Champions League 3rd qualifying round tie at Lansdowne Road. He later became a fan of Shamrock Rovers and attended some of their matches.

Massey came through the underage ranks at Bray Wanderers and made the breakthrough to the senior team in 2008. He made his professional debut in a League of Ireland Cup tie against Shamrock Rovers in May 2008 and went on to play five times that season for the club. In 2009, Massey made 34 appearances and scored his first senior goal against Shamrock Rovers, before going on to score three more goals that season.
