Daniel Alejandro Torres Rojas (born 15 November 1989) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Spanish club Deportivo Alavés.
Born in Cáqueza, Cundinamarca, Torres joined Independiente Santa Fe's youth setup in 2005 at the age of 15. He made his senior debut on 8 June 2008, starting in a 0–3 away loss against América de Cali.
On 8 July 2011, Torres was loaned to fellow league team Atlético Nacional until the end of the year, with a buyout clause. However, he only appeared sparingly for the club, being released in the end of the year mainly due to disciplinary problems (some of them related to alcoholism).
Upon returning to Santa Fe, Torres established himself as a regular starter and helped the side in their 2012 and 2014 successful campaigns. He scored his first professional goal on 9 August of the latter year, netting the second in a 2–1 home win against Independiente Medellín.
On 5 July 2015, Torres and fellow Santa Fe teammate Luis Carlos Arias were transferred to Independiente Medellín. He featured regularly for the side during his spell, scoring two goals in the 2015 season.
On 19 July 2016, Torres signed a four-year contract with Deportivo Alavés, newly promoted to La Liga. He made his debut in the category on 21 August, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Atlético Madrid.
