Daniel Alfredsson (born 11 December 1972) is a Swedish-Canadian retired professional ice hockey player. He spent 18 seasons in the National Hockey League, 17 with the Ottawa Senators and played his final year with the Detroit Red Wings.

Alfredsson was the longtime captain of the Ottawa Senators; serving from 1999 to 2013. He is considered a leader by example and had been compared to former Detroit Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman in his value during his tenure as captain of the Ottawa Senators. With the Senators, Alfredsson usually played on the first line, which was formerly nicknamed the 'CASH' or 'Pizza' line with centre Jason Spezza and left winger Dany Heatley, before Heatley's trade to the San Jose Sharks. He had traditionally been the fourth forward on the ice in the role of pointman on Ottawa's powerplay. He was one of the league's top two-way players, and he holds the Senators' franchise records for goals (426), assists (682), and points (1108) with 1,178 games played. He had played for Sweden internationally fourteen times, including the 2006 gold medal and 2014 silver medal winning Olympic teams. He was the 75th player to reach 1,000 career points in the NHL, scoring three goals in a win over the Buffalo Sabres on 22 October 2010. Alfredsson holds an Honorary Degree from Carleton University.
