Daniel Borimirov Borisov (Bulgarian: Даниел Боримиров;, nicknamed Borimechkov, born 15 January 1970) is a retired Bulgarian footballer who played mainly as an attacking midfielder.

His career was almost exclusively associated with two clubs, Levski Sofia and TSV 1860 München, later working in directorial capacities with the former. He was also capped nearly 70 times for the Bulgarian national team, for which he appeared in four major international competitions.

Born in Vidin, Borimirov started his professional career with PFC Levski Sofia, having arrived at the club in 1990 from lowly FC Bdin. In the beginning, he appeared mainly as a supporting striker, but eventually reconverted to attacking midfielder.

At Levski, Borimirov was very important – if not crucial – part in all of the club's six major titles during his first spell, three leagues and three cups. After 32 goals combined in his last two years, with back-to-back national championships, he signed with Germany's TSV 1860 München.

Borimirov made his Bundesliga debut on 12 August 1995, scoring twice at FC St. Pauli, albeit in a 2–4 loss, adding another two in the next two games, as the Lions eventually finished in eighth position; in the following season, he experienced his best year abroad, netting nine times in 31 matches, helping TSV qualify for the UEFA Cup.
