Daniël Robin Frederick de Ridder (born 6 March 1984) is a Dutch footballer. He plays as a forward/midfield player who operates either on the right or left side but can also play in a more advanced role, and has represented Ajax, Celta Vigo, Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic, Hapoel Tel Aviv, Grasshopper Club Zürich, SC Heerenveen, RKC Waalwijk and SC Cambuur.
Born in Amsterdam, to a Dutch father and Israeli mother, De Ridder worked his way up to first-team selection from Ajax's youth department, making his full debut in an away game against Roda JC on 21 January 2004, and scored his first goal against Willem II on 16 May.
De Ridder was a regular throughout the second half of the campaign, starting nine games and appearing a further six times as a substitute. De Ridder made his UEFA Champions League debut in September 2004, coming on as a 69th-minute substitute in a 4–0 defeat at Bayern Munich. In December 2004, he was offered an improved contract until June 2007.
Part of the Netherlands side that reached the second qualifying round of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in 2002–03, De Ridder stepped up to the U21s as the 2006 UEFA European Championship qualifying campaign kicked off.
De Ridder was told prior to the 2005–2006 season that there would be no room for him in the squad and he could expect little playing time if he decided to stay.
De Ridder joined Celta de Vigo permanently on 31 August 2005.
