Daniel Lee "Danny" Allsopp (born 10 August 1978) is a former Australian football (soccer) player who played as a striker. He last played for Launceston City. He is a full international for the Australia national football team, and is well known for being Melbourne Victory's second highest, and the A-League's seventh highest all-time goalscorer, behind Archie Thompson, Shane Smeltz, Besart Berisha, Sergio van Dijk, Mark Bridge and Carlos Hernandez.

Allsopp started his senior football career with Monbulk Rangers in 1994 as a 16-year-old, competing in the Victorian Provisional League Division 1. The following year he joined Croydon City in the Victorian State League Division 1 competition before joining then-NSL club South Melbourne in 1995. After two seasons with South, Allsopp made the move across town to Carlton S.C. for the 1997 NSL season.

Allsopp spent the 1998 Victorian Premier League season with Port Melbourne Sharks then moved to England to trial for Second Division club Manchester City, and after scoring in City's first friendly match against Newquay as well as some reserve team matches, he was signed for the club for the 1998–99 season. Allsopp's four goals in 25 games saw Manchester City promoted to the First Division, but he struggled to find a regular place in the team as the team in the 1999–2000 season, and was loaned out to Notts County.
